Hey Everyone,

I am going to breed my Budgie's this Sunday, and I have been giving them fruit and veges,

but I'm not sure if they are getting the correct vitamins and minerals.

I don't have much money to use on them as I am still in school and I don't have a job,

but I use as much as I can to keep them healthy

 

I don't like giving them meat products, so I was going to give them soaked mashed Soy Beans as protein

With a mixture of the below fruits and veges:

 

Corn

Carrot

Apple

Beetroot?

A small bit of celery every now and then

Silverbeet

Sunflower Seeds

Wholemeal Bread soaked in Soy Milk (haven't used this yet. Should I??)

 

I have been breeding for a few years but have just recently been wondering if I the birds are getting all the things they need when they need them

 

Looking Forward to Your replies.

Kirsty

Hi there,

 

I have a few herbs growing in my garden. Basil and Mint are faves for my birds. They also enjoy raw broccolli and silverbeet. Plus wholegrain bread and apple.

I give these as treats more than nutritional musts myself, as I get a mix of seed and birdie biscuits that should cover them. I also give them a "golden fruit" mixture for variety.

Thanks for Answering my post, Do you feed your birds wholegrain bread dry? or soaked in Milk?

I will start giving them basil and mint and Broccolli, and see if they like it.

 

Thanks again for answering me as I am going to buy fruit and veges for my birds today, and now know what to get them!

Kirsty I have been so confused about their nutrition

I give mine peas, corn, carrot and leaves, beetroot, celery, broccoli and leaves, silver beet and parsley to name a few and apple.

Orange and lemon are offered to fight off mega bacteria.

Sunflower and safflower in the winter months

I thought parsley was a toxin?

 

I give them the bread dry BudgieloverKirsty, them seem to prefer it like that. But I do give all my greens a good soak with water. The budgies love that. Plus it gives the greens a wash too, just in case.

Can I feed my birds popeye spinach.

I have a heap of mint so I will try them on it .

Hi there,

 

I feed my budgie lots of fresh food. Have you tried peeling a carrot with a vegetable peeler and giving your budgie the peelings, my birds love it. :bump: (remember to wash the carrot before using it)

 

Hope this can be of help

Did you read the date?

Hey,

 

I usually give them the small leaves of the fresh vegetable as well as some of the a fluid that contains 50% water and 50% mixture of fruit juice.
