Posted June 25, 200817 yr My budgie is usually a very quiet boy, just follows the same route when he is outside of the cage, like from the cage to the top of the cupboard and back and never anywhere else. The other day i bought a bouquet of tulips and noticed that he has been trying to land on them for the second day. he never succeeds. i replaced them from one table to my coffee table and put it next to my laptop and my budgie landed on my laptop instead (i was so excited as he usually tries to sit high up and never lands anywhere near us). however i know that tulips are poisonous so i moved them away from him. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can get any shop bought bouquets suitable and not poisonous for budgies? i know sunflowers are not poisonous but are there any other ones? and are shop bought flowers safe to nibble on or are they all covered in pesticides?
June 25, 200817 yr most shop flowers are sprayed with different chemicals to keep them looking fresh and bug free the best thing you can do is buy your own or chose organic foods from the grocery store.
June 25, 200817 yr Any of the flowers on herb plants should be okay. Also I would say roses are fine since our possums love them and larger parrots like the rose hips, the other flowers we commonly offer the possums is plumbago which is a scrambly shrub with blue flowers, I think it is from Europe originally so you may have it there, also Jacaranda, it's South African but seems to have been planted all over the world. If you can get an native Australian plants there most would be okay but it's best to ask if you aren't sure.
