You should feed your budgies with good quality, commercially
available budgie food. Complete pelleted foods are recommended because
they contain the right amount and type of essential nutrients. In
addition, fruit and vegetables can be offered in small quantities. The
following are all good for budgies:
- Apple
- Sweet potato
- Salad cress
- Grated carrot
- Grapes
- Pumpkin
- Winter squash
- Broccoli
- Parsley
- Spinach
- Mango
- Papaya
Wash all the fruit and vegetables well to remove any chemicals, and cut them into manageable-sized pieces. You don't have to take the skin off. Give them to your budgies in a separate dish from the seeds. - It can be difficult to encourage a mature bird raised on seeds to convert to eating pellets. This process may take weeks and the best way to do it is to have the pellets constantly available, while gradually reducing the amount of seed. You should never withdraw the seeds until you are totally convinced that your budgie is eating the pellets and fresh foods. If in doubt, ask a vet with a special interest in birds for advice.
