Paswell brand parrot pellets or crumbles?

Our birds are currently eating seed and I am wanting to change them to this brand of pellets and crumbles (you need different sizes for the different sized birds). I know you need to mix it 50 to 50 to start with until they get used to it. Figured out it would cost the same as seed diet and would be a lot better for them. I have also heard of Roudy bush but this is very expensive.

Has anyone had any experience in feeding the Paswell brand to their birds? If so did they like it?

Update:

I meant Passwell sorry. They are a good brand and have lots of nutrients in them. You can find them on the Wombaroo website.

    Forget Pellets as a breeder I would not feed Pellets nor advise anyone to do so.

    If you bird is already being fed seed , then supplemented it's diet with Green Veg such as Broccoli, Kale, Sweet corn cob , Fruit etc.

    These are much more healthier than Pellets.if you want desperately to feed Pellets then only put in a small quantity.

    As a breeder of various Parrot species I would never feed Pellets for various reasons such as what they are made from, which you would be surprised at.

    There are a number of sites that will explain why not to feed Pellets to your bird.
