Tweety Weaned

Well Tweety has decided he was tired of the formula.. or waiting to be fed.. he is now eating seeds on his own.. and I was worried about the weaning process, being the 1st time for me. I went to a good bird store and the woman was very helpfull in giving me what I needed to get him weaned but I was told I needed to mix the stuff with water and put in a dish on the bottom of his cage. I never got to that point I had left a dish of seed in his cage and he just started on his own.
