Budgie Mix

Posted

Hi all, just noticing that my young cock Bill has been mainly only eating the millet out of the Budgie mix I have bought him which was not from a supermarket but fresh seed from a pet store...

when I blow the husks out its the oats etc that seem to be left...also if I put a spray of millet in his cage then this only is eaten and he wont eat his mix at all that day....

Is this a seasonal thing where he needs more of something so he eats the seed that provides that... or a growth thing as he must be getting close to a moult??

He is still eating eucalyptus and wattyl when its put in his cage....

Aaron and Bill. :)

The millet is candy to a budgie so he would rather eat the candy than his real dinner :)

Switch to standard finch seed ( more variety which he will eat) and add some hulled oats.

Don't forget to give him his greens :)

Thanks I will try the Finch seed and hulled oats... (what are hulled oats?) :o

How is his girlfriend going?

Aaron.

The oats are what you said he isnt eating in the mix he currently has :o

The ones that look like a cross between a coffee bean and a rice grain :o

 

Porridge is made out of rolled out versions of them :D

 

 

She's doing well, eating well but is sooky :( and screams on the odd occasion, but she's growing out of that now :D
