Budgie Feeding Guide
Posted by Budgie Food, Budgie Pellets, Small Parrot Food, on 14/3/2019
With so many different foods available for your Budgie, it can be hard to know where to start. To give you a helping hand we?ve put together this useful Budgie feeding guide.
A Budgie?s diet should be approximately 60-80% pellets/complete food, and then the remainder a mixture of
fruits, nuts, seed, sprouting seed, treats, vegetables and other treats.
Pelleted and Completed Food
These give a Budgie all the nutrients they need in their diet...
- Lafeber NutriBerriesfor Small Parrots has 40 essential nutrients your Budgie needs to stay fit and healthy.

Sprouting Seed / Soaking Seed
Packed full of nutrients, sprouting and soaking seed are loads of fun to prepare and very nutritious for your bird too. All you need to do is soak it, rinse it then serve with the rest of your Budgie?s diet.
Seeds
The Tidymix Parakeet Diet is made from 21 human grade ingredients all of high nutritional value. Vets have recommended it too.
The highly rated Hagen Living World Budgie Premium Seed contains oil seeds, fruits and vegetables for a beak-wateringly good mix.
Vegetables
Encourage your Budgie to enjoy dark green vegetable such as kale and broccoli. Orange coloured vegetables such as carrot is also highly nutritious. If you need something a little more convenient take a look at theKaytee Bird Greenswith Chia and Sweet Potato or the fruit, nut and veg mix

Please Note:
We would always advise buying the smallest bag/pack possible to trial your Parrot with. It can take some time and persistence to introduce a new food. Always have fresh water available.
