This may sound a bit of a stupid question but i have to ask it. When giving my budgies brocolli, do i have to cook them first or do they eat it raw. I would rather check than give them something bad, they have only just started to eat lettuce and grated carrot so i am making progress with them. Mork has started to stand on my hand to eat a little bit of millet, yey

Either way is good. Raw is healthier because the nutrients are not cooked out. Great question

Can you also give them things like corn on the cob, and if so does that have to be cooked. are there any veggies or fruit i should avoid apart from potatoes

Alcohol

Chocolate

Avocado

Apple seeds

Are TOXIC to budgies and should NEVER be fed.

Onion

Asparagus

Cabbage

Aubergine (eggplant)

Rhubarb (including leaves)

Dairy products

Raw potato

Crisps (Chips) or other high salt human foods

Human Breakfast cereals containing Zinc

Strawberries (or any highly perishable fruit) unless 100% organic

 

Should also be avoided as they may cause harm to your budgie.Some fruits and vegetables are sprayed and treated with high amounts of pesticides and should be avoided if possible. Organic produce is best to feed your budgies, and always remember to wash any fresh fruits or vegetables very thoroughly before feeding. check out our FAQ system for more information.

Hi Beks, yep, fresh, uncooked corn, they love... most veggies they love raw... dark lettuces, chinese lettuces, like bok choy, spinach...

 

 

Feathers.

And if you have chickweed in your yard (used to have tons but not anymore since I moved) and YOU KNOW for sure there has been no pesticides/poisons used, that is fantastic for them as well. :greenb:
