Just wondering what food you are all using? What do you think of it?

I feed Trill seed and Harrisons pellets, both of which i like. I'll soon be switching back to Vetafarm pellets which are more readily available.

Cool

 

I know Trill has some good stuff

 

I am actually feeding mine the Vetafarm Finch and Budgie Crumbles....

 

I am trying to weane my bird off the sead and to finch and budgie crumbles only

 

Of course there are the treats like millet spray and apple on the side

 

What other treats do you give your budgies?

I feed mine a variety of seed, pellets, veggie and fruit daily .

Tim, a balanced diet for budgies MUST include seed.

Yes in the article your budgie's diet must contain at least 30% good quality seed

OMG, I read that and thought NO!! But I see others have beaten me to it. Budgies NEED seed in their diet as well as pellets, and plenty of fresh vegies/leaves/grasses etc.

My birds eat...let's see....

 

Pellets:

Harrison Mash

ZuPreem Organic

Kaytee Organic (I thought it best to get them used to different brands in case one or the other is not available)

 

Cooked Diets:

Beak Appetit

Goldenfeast

 

Seed Varieties:

Sprouted and soaked seeds

regular budgie mix (Volkman Seeds)

Occasional millet treats

Occassional LeFebers AviCakes

 

Other:

Sprouted wheatgrass

Egg food

most any veggie (carrots, kale, spinach, green/red peppers, carrot tops, romaine and redleaf lettuce (for bathing, LOL), they also will eat corn and peas if they are cooked.

 

 

They have pellets, egg food, and a small amount of dry seed in the cage at all times (only an amount that will be slightly less than their total food intake for the day). They never eat all the pellets unless it is the Harrison's. They also get Beak Appetit, sprouts or soaked seeds, and vegetables daily.

 

Thankfully they will pretty much eat anything I give them. Except fruit, they are not very keen on fruit at all. Once in a blue moon they might eat some. They have eaten apple, grapes, cantaloupe and honeydew melon, pineapple, blueberries, and banana. The sooner you start feeding a variety of foods, the better off your bird will be. It is easier to get them used to different foods presented in different ways when they are young as opposed to when they are older and set in their little budgie ways.
