Where can I buy bird seed?

You can find bird seed at your local pet store or supermarket. If not, or if you want to find a better place to purchase in bulk, or if you just prefer the convenience of home delivery, Joy recommends Higgins Nederlands Vita Bird Seed for Parakeets available at Pet Food Direct. It is a pretty good bird seed mix for your parakeet, and at about $1 per pound (before shipping costs), it is really good value for your money.

If you are really going for convenience, you can also set up an auto renewal at Pet Food Direct, so that bird seed is sent to you automatically every couple of months, or at whatever interval you prefer.
