Budgie Only Eating Eucalyptus, Is It Ok?

Featured Replies

Posted

I got my 5.5 year old budgie eucalyptus leaves a few weeks ago, since then she does not want to eat anything else. A few days ago she lost her companion, our beloved male budgie and she is under a lot of stress. I am worried not eating anything but eucalyptus leaves may make her sick. Any ideas? Thanks

Hmm, yes, I was also wondering if Eucalyptus leaves are okay for budgies to eat. Are they?

I would put her on some probotics. You should be able to get the correct ones at a pet store. I would limit the leaves until she settles down and back on to a seed based diet. Try giving some vegatables as we as the seeds.

 

Eucalyptus is good for budgies, it's part of their natural diet but too much of somethings are not good.

Cool, because I like the idea that I can put green leaves in their cage, sort of like a forest.

Any particular types, or are all eucalytus trees fine?

Aparently all types are fine. Except the one in Dried Flower arrangements. It is poisionous. I lost our first bird because of it. :P

Which one is that?

 

Which one is what ? :rip:
