Hi all,

 

Recently I have discovered that many of my gorgeous birds are overweight or obese

 

It is not from lack of food variety, they have greens and branches and leaves provided as well as seed. I have read that a healthy weight budgie should be eating about 2 teaspoons of seed a day plus greens and leaves. Is this correct?

 

I have been trying to think of another way to stop this problem with my birds other than putting them all on a diet, but at the moment I can see no other way!!!

 

Feedback would be appreciated!

 

Thanks, SunshineE

Show me their housing..................often it isnt about the food but the exercise they get. M<any a cage is so jam packed with perches and swings and toys that all a budgie gets to do is hop from one to another.

 

Before I go talking diet or food quantities I would assess their exercise abilities.

 

and I would NEVER ever deal out two teaspoons of seed per budgie ever. At all times their needs vary...........sometimes they eat more. Sometimes they need more. Some budgies eat more than others. Bored budgie eat too.

 

So...........
