I think it should be ok! :) Whether or not he'll actually eat all the extra stuff that's added is another matter though. ;) The thing i always look out for when buying food is ethoxyquin, this is a dangerous preservative which some bird food companies cleverly put in their food. :rolleyes: If something has ethoxyquin then you shouldn't feed it. Pellets are usually the main offenders.
