My Budgie Veggie Mix

Featured Replies

Posted

Yes, thats right, l have a budgie veggie mix :)

 

Today l went back to Kellyville Pet store and l bought a smallish stainless steel bowl, which can be attached to the side of the cage.

 

I bought some snow peas on the way home.

 

My mix includes snow peas that are torn into small pieces, grated carrot (even though they didn't eat any yesterday at all, l decided to try it in the mix), corn kernals, pieces of apple and cut up brocolli trees (the small ones). I also had a huge bell seed that l took off them a while ago because they were only eating that and none of their normal seed, so l broke that up a little and sprinkled it over the mix.

 

They are eating it :) Fighting over it a little actually, but Fizzy is slowly realising that Sherbet was there first so she gets first dibs.

 

I was really excited and proud of myself with my little mix that l made :) I hope they enjoy it - although they are throwing bits and pieces out sometimes ;):blink:

:feedbirds: Excellent, half of my crew like a similar mix and the rest just pick at it. ;)

Would l be able to make this in bulk and refrigerate?

 

It would just be a pain if l have to take another 10-15 mins of my morning before work to make this mix, l already spend about 10-15 mins on them already ;) Changing their water every morning and topping up their seed containers.

;) It's only good for 3 days at the most, I do it the night before. :blink:

Thats a great idea :) Thanks Pheobe!

 

They have put a lot on the floor of the cage, and Sherbet is hoarding it :) Fizzy is trying to get to the mix at any chance he can. Poor little munchkin :)

 

Is it okay to put some seed in it? I just thought they might like it more with some of the sweet honey stick seed.

:ygbudgie: No, keep their vegetable/and fruit mixture separate unless you are trying to entice them and sprinkle a few seeds on. But your guys already like it so you have no problem! ;)

I only did it today because l've previously given them whole pieces of veggies and fruit. I wasn't sure how they would take the mix of grated/cut up pieces all together.

 

Pretty much to get them attracted to it, but thanks, l won't put them in there anymore ;)
