Do Your Budgies Eat An Insect?

Featured Replies

Posted

I've got one silly question :blush: . Could you see your budgies eat some fly or something flying around in their cage? I could see a wasp flying to my budgie cage today and I was worried a bit, that it could sting them. But some of the budgies were actually hunting it :wub:

 

Do you think they could just eat the wasp?

In the wild birds eat insects that are crawling on the food they eat. It's a great form of protein for them.

:ausb: I saw one of my budgies grab a mosquito once but that was about 5 or 6 years ago, haven't observed any fly or moth or mosquito catching since. :bluebudgie:

I went into a really good petshop and they had little crickets that they put in the babie budgie gym, for them to eat, I suppose.

okay, so maybe they can eat the wasps (there are many here now - I think they were born somewhere around the house now :ausb: ).

 

I actually bought an egg food which suppose to have some insect in it - but I didn't find any :bluebudgie:

I don't know about eating the wasps, because the wasps will sting your budgies and that could be very dangerous for a small animal like a budgie.
