Hi

 

How much seed do you give your budgie each day

 

I have heard that 2 teaspoons per budgie per day is best amount is this correct?

Yes I have heard of some people on here giving that amount each day for their birds. I think it only works with one or maybe 2 birds but wouldn't for a flock of them, becuase you would not be sure if all where getting their fair share.

That is supposed to be the 'rough estimate' of the total food a budgie needs each day. That amount should be lessened though, if your bird is eating other types of foods (as he should be.... ). I have 4, and I would guess it's maybe a teaspoon between them all? It's hard to say, could be a little more or a little less, depending upon the day. Their normal seed diet is a sprouting mix, which is soaked and beginning to sprout tails. They usually choose the sprouted seed over dry seeds.
