Well, I don't feed pellets because, according to my research, they are not the best dietary option for parrots, especially the smaller species. The ones you feed are made of dry corn, soybeans, wheat and oats with man-made vitamins/minerals added and 5% fruit as well as oils but the actual oils or fruits are not listed on the ingredients (this is all they say: "Vegetable Oils, natural organic acids, almond chips, and dehydrated fruit" so, in reality, nobody knows what the heck they are feeding). Now, I don't feed my birds any soy or dry corn, and I also don't feed them feed grade grains, only human grade. But the biggest problem with this food for budgies is the protein. It's listed as a minimum of 17% (so, for all you know, you could be feeding 20%) and budgies need a maximum of 12% so you have a big problem right there.
