This premium blend seems to be well‑balanced and fortified with nutrients, which makes me feel good about feeding it to my budgies. My birds eat it eagerly and seem healthy and active, which is exactly what you want in a staple seed mix. The quality feels good — the seeds look fresh and not dusty or broken up like some other brands I’ve tried my birds really love it. Overall, this seed mix is a solid choice if you’re looking for something nutritious and reliable for your small birds. I’d definitely recommend it Review: Great price, NO poisonous colors or soy! And bird loves it. - No artificial colors or junk! I looked at a lot of different seed mixes for parakeets. Not the marketing hype, just straight to the ingredients. There are only a few that don’t have artificial colors, soybean and other fillers. This is the only one which is affordable in that bunch. I saw another brand who has organic seeds plus fruits and veggies. I saw that the same first ingredient is included in this seed mix, millet. But the seed is 1/5 the price. I will, of course, have to supplement with other foods like veggies and fruits to make up for the lack of in this mix. But I am very happy that there is only orange oil added with vitamins and nutrients. I don’t think the vitamins and nutrients are actually a benefit, but at least there is no poisonous colors or genetically modified soy or other harmful additives. I am happy with this for my lennie parakeet. And I just got it out of the bag and he went absolutely bonkers for it! I am very satisfied. ## Features - Budgie Seed Contains Only The Highest Quality Seeds Blended In A Perfect Balance For The Nutritional Needs Of All Budgies And Parakeets - The Seeds Are Specially Selected For High Nutrition And Taste Appeal - The Seeds Are Air Cleaned And Then Polished, Producing A Dust-Free And Appetizing Mix Eagerly Sought By Budgies And Parakeets - Measures 12-Inch Length By 7-Inch Width By 1-1/3-Inch Height - This Product Weighs 3-Pound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002ARUOM | | ASIN | B0002ARUOM | | Additional Features | Fortified with essential vitamins and minerals | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Animal Food Diet Type | Raw | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | Additive-Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,681 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #95 in Bird Food | | Brand Name | Hagen | | Breed Recommendation | All Breed Sizes | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,931) | | Date First Available | January 1, 2005 | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Flavorless | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561822039 | | Included Components | Hagen Budgie Seed (3 lb) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Seed | | Item Weight | 1.36 Kilograms | | Item model number | B2203 | | Manufacturer | Rolf C.

I no longer have the bag so I can't tell any allergen info. There is an orange scent to the seeds - I think I recall orange oil added, but I'm really not sure the exact ingredient now. **Q: Want to try agin. Last bag smelled rancid. Exp date was smeared off. Anyone have a problem with freshness and exp date?** A: I've never had a problem. Try sprouting the seed, that will tell you if it's good or not. Sprouts are better for your bird! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ will buy again *by A***N on February 11, 2026* I recently bought the Hagen Parakeet/Budgie Staple VME Seed for my birds, and I’ve been really happy with it.

This does not hav ANY soy or corn Also I don’t want funny little pellets colored or otherwise or sugar and artificial colors. Btw, corn is frequently one of the top 3 ingredients if not the number one ingredient. Corn is a cheap, fattening filler which is why they feed it to livestock. To fatten them up and cause them to get big faster. It used to be used in practically all dog kibble but consumers now look for dog food without corn for the same reason This seed does not have any of the above mentioned offending ingredients. It is vacuum sealed, smells fresh when you open it and, best of all (drum roll please) you can sprout it ! The birds love sprouted seed and if seed isn’t fresh, it won’t sprout! Give this a try. Please remember that any change in diet should be made slowly And don’t forget to give fresh veggies too and you will have a happy, healthy budgie ## Frequently Bought Together - Hagen Parakeet/Budgie Staple Vme Seed, 3-Pound - Wild Harvest Daily Blend Nutrition Diet for Parakeet, Canary and Finch, Orange flavored, 10 Pounds - Penn-Plax Bird-Life (BA655) Natural E Cuttlebones | Enriched with Omega 3 and Vitamin B1 | Great for All Birds | 2 Cuttlebone Treats per Package --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/8755266-parakeet-budgie-staple-vme-seed-3-pound](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/8755266-parakeet-budgie-staple-vme-seed-3-pound) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
