Most of my budgies don't like fruit and don't eat it. But I found a way to trick them. I squashed some berries, mixed in millet and put that in their treat dish with lettuce underneath, letting it poke out a bit so they see the green. It worked.
ZiyalAstra my budgies don’t like fruit either so I might try this
@@user-fr2zd4cw8gdid it work for u?
Dont forget to download the Budgie World app
hahaha of course 🤣
@@BudgieWorld Hey, do you recommend feeding them chop.
There is no app
@@hello.8951 🤦🏽♀️
My budgies had babies last year. And I have to say, those babies make my life better. Other than falling in the fish tank, they help their mom learn more about my room. Learning that it's good to try new things.
Great topic! My birds eat Harrison's pallets. Love broccoli. And eat fruit once a week. Millet almost every day. The more we know about budgies diets the better for our birds. Thank you for doing these videos!
Thank you for support, I appreciate it !! :)
This is one of the best Budgie diets I have seen. .. nevertheless it doesn't mimic the budgies natural diet. Budgies come from the Australian dry lands. When not destroyed by humans overgrazing, these areas are grassland. The main thing budgies eat are a variety of grasses and plants that grow with grasses such as dandelion, amaranth, clover, alfalfa, mustard, purslane, carrot tops. Micro greens are highly nutritious. These green plants hydrate the budgies with structured water ( more hydrating than simple water). This is really important for creatures that fly and particularly in dry lands. Provide copious amounts of grasses and green leafy vegetables. They then nibble slight amounts from trees such as dry gum leaves and flowers. The third thing they eat is seeds when the grass plants are in seed. This is not all year and not even every day. Giving budgies a variety of seeds is convenient but they need to be limited ( 1 tsp / Budgie / day) because they are highly inflammatory by being high in lectins and omega 6 and omega 9. It's better to sprout some of the seeds. Budgies eat a small amount of bugs. The bugs can be replaced with a thin slice of boiled egg fed once a week ( more often if feeding chicks). The Australian Bush has very few sweet fruiting plants and they only appear for a few days once a year. . Fructose, found in fruit, in large amounts is a toxin for budgies because it causes fatty liver, weight gain and insulin resistance. In general avoid sweet fruit, nightshade plants, root vegetables ( including the carrot root, the onion family, potatoes) because budgies are not digging creatures . These plants can be used sparingly as medicines in extreme circumstances but never as general foods. What I am recommending is similar to the above except green plants are at the bottom of the pyramid by volume, then seeds. Then egg. Sweet fruit is avoided ( only offered if Budgie has suffered extreme cold or celebration treat). I have left out the tree substances because it's hard to obtain safe varieties.
Really good video ,got the right information breaking it down 🙂🐦
Thanks for guide
nice video and cool new intro keep it up
Edit: yes i haven't watched you in a while sorry :(
Thanks
Nice video
At last. A smart looking man.
Would pellets be counted in as part of the seeds or whats with the pellets?
Pellets can be their main diet alongside veggies. Seeds are fatty.
my budgies three months old, he love corn, show I give him everyday ?
Hey budgie world. How long will last the seeds and pellets once in the feeding bowl? The same with raw food. And how good is dehydrated greens?
Thanks for the video. I think is the most simple I've seen. Very informative without going into extreme. Again thanks
it all depends on how big the feeder is, and how many bird you got, if you are asking about veggies, leave them for couple of hours and then remove them from the cage before they start to rot
@@BudgieWorld Thanks for answering the question... I appreciate it. I was asking how many days the seeds and pellets will last before going bad.
You mentioned that you can buy sprouted seeds. This is the only thing my budgie does not get as I am at a loss as how or where to get this? Also, what do you think of the "gourmet" seed mixes that have dried fruits in them? yes or no? My budgie eats tons of greens (kale being her favorite) but is not so keen on fruits. Eats a blended mix of seeds and has cuttle bone and mineral block which I finally see her using lately.
BloomCounty Lover - fruits are NOT healthy more than once a week.
@@annalisa14 Thank you, I didn't think that fruit was as imprtant as the veggies. I am most concerned about the sprouted seeds. Where can you get these or do you sprout your own?
@@budgiemom8345 You sprout your own but its best to get cold pressed pellets
Hi i have a question
how often do budgies pee and when you let the budgie fly in your room do they poop everywhere
also can you potty train your budgie and do they make noise at night
I just love your Channel. Thanks so much.
Budgies love Carrot 🥕
Is the brand Kaytee bird food a good brand for budgies?
No the food is crap and has been linked to multiple parrot deaths
I need help, my brothers co-worker gifted a Budgie to him and she kinda mentioned that the budgie is 5 years old. I am the one that is taking care of the budgie now and I'm concern that he might be depressed or sick. He closes his eyes and puffs up, not sure if he is tired or sick. I have seen him eat but not drink water. Can anyone please let me know if it's just because of his age or if it's an illness, BTW I dont have a veterinarian yet since it was in so short notice, the budgie was given to me today.
Put clean paper on the bottom of the cage and check the poop in the morning. Know the temperature budgies require, make sure there are no drafts where the cage is placed. If you have a food scale, weigh the Budgie, I think 32-34g is the standard weight. Budgies require about 12 hours sleep at night. He/she may just be adjusting to a new home as it would be stressful for any animal.
Every Saturday I mix a hard boiled egg one spinach leaf with carrots seeds and pellets mixed in a chop we take fresh frozen vegetable mix and we blend it in a bullet while still leaving big chunks of the vegetables and we mix the veggie mush with pellets and seeds then we freeze it in our freezers when they are ready to eat we take small paper bowls and I balance it on the cage and a small perch from our previous cage we keep pellets and seeds in their food bowls throughout the day I spoil with millet whenever we have fruit platter I give them one of every fruit to try depending on what it is we have 5 baby budgies I plan on getting more their wings are clipped because we got them from a pet store the previous cage they were in was a tall I didn't give them a practice flight cage I put them in a flight cage directly after to help build their muscles I even shut my room door and take them out daily I let them explore when I first put them in they fell a couple times but now they are doing great they have only been in this cage for a month and they do get their exercise we have something at the bottom of the cage to catch them Squeaky can actually glide he was able to in the other cage too Stolas can as well the other 3 they can't fly yet I am working with them .
Can I feed them pellets and a seeds mix?
pellets or seed mix, I feed mine seed mix I feel like it's closer to their natural diet. but it's up to you
@@BudgieWorld ok
@@BudgieWorld Seeds are like fast food, pellets are much more natural diet for budgies since they're healthier and seeds are malnourished.
Last!
My birds always have eating parakeets seeds from the store. I try to give them fruits and vegetable and they don’t eat it. The food is available everyday. After seeing this video I feel that I may have been doing something bad on their diet.
Hey how are your buggies doing?
@@GouriGrover one got sick and past away. he also was old. The other one is doing good.
Why are you showing illuminati single eye at the end of your budgies food triangle? Please explain.
Budgie World, I just had something happen to my budgie that's never happen to me before. I was trying to clip her wing because she's been flying everywhere this last week. So I went to hold Tico and ended up with all her tail feathers in my hand. She didn't even squawk. I think she moved as my hand was going around her. She's ok but now tailless. I feel so bad!😰
Thanks for these useful advices!
I bought a budgie one month old and they told me in the pet shop that I should not feed him fruits and vegetables first two or three months! Is it true? When should I start giving him fruits and vegetables?
you can introduce your budgie to veggies early on, I don't see why not. I do that that with all my new born budgies, never had a problem, did they tell you why it's not good? (maybe there is a reason I am not familiar with)
@@BudgieWorld no they didn't, I asked them but they told me something like"there is no need "...It doesn't make sense to me so I decided to ask you for opinion.
@@draganav7539 The diet should be cold pressed pellets with a veggie chop and fruits 3 times a week max
I try to offer ma budgie veggie n they dun want to eat it😭
Can budgie eat neem leaves please 🥺 if you tell me then you will get 1000 likes in this video
Yousound like Necrit
Umm, where does the egg fit in? I give my budgies a small piece of egg each morning. They throw away most of it, but they eat some.
Each morning that’s not good
@@allsongs9717 isnt it once a week
Why garlic bad for bird?
I will talk about it in time, there is a lot to cover in birds nutrition.
if there is something you aren't sure if it's good or toxic, just ask someone who knows. better to be safe than sorry.
and I promise you I will try to explain every single food or treat . I'm committed.
