I've tried lightly boiled and graded carrots - yellow and orange. Also dandylion leaves, unfortunately almost gone due to the weather now. But their favourites are apples - a day that keep the doctors away. They also like persimmon. Banana was also nibbled, but I am afraid to offer them, since I've heard they spray them when transport.

 

The poll has convinced me to offer more veggies.

Mine get vegies every second day..........they eat sliced english spinach, chinese vegies like Bok Choy and Pak Choy, grated carrot, celery, corn on the cob, homemade eggfood with all these vegies in too. None of my budgies will eat Broccoli or apples.

Broccoli is a favourite with mine, and they like apple too, as well as all the other veggies Bubbles mentioned. They get their veggies every day, I think they would riot if they didn't.

 

 

Today they are feasting on broccoli, grated carrot, bok choy, sugar snap peas and corn.

On the topic of veggies and budgies

i was cleaning veggies for the dogs supper tonight and i threw away a lot of extra fennel 'shavings' and that got me thinking is fennel good for the budgies? i buy a lot of it becuase the dogs love it so much as well as me. Then i thought what about other aromatic veggies, and herbs? basil and mint are in excess in my window pots so what if i cut them down a bit? i can't find yes or no answers so what is your prospective?
