    The male budgie my family had years ago would show plenty of excitement every time he'd see a piece of fruit/vegetable or even egg yolk in my hands, heading for his cage! Before eating, he would chirp loudly, moving his head up and down, then approach the piece of food and gently touch it with his foot and beak, while leaning closer and murmuring softly to it. It was like he was making a love confesssion to his treats before eating them, lol! I miss him so, watching him being like this would cheer up even the worst days... He had such a character!

    10-30% seeds 50-70% pellets (i recommend tops, zupreem, or roudybush) 10-20% vegetables and occasional fruits (just because fruits are high in sugar) bgut introducing budgies to new diets is very hard so do lots of research and be patient

      Zupreem pellets have soy, corn, artificial color, sugar, and vegetable oil. It's like junk food to birds. I recommend Top's pellets. It's cold pressed, does not have corn, soy, sugars, and random ingredients.

    My last budgie lived for 14 years 4 months. She lived on a seed and grain mix, millet and honey sticks. They are native to Australia and are ground feeding seed eaters. It was a beautiful sight to see large flocks of budgies in the wild, although they are considered by some to be pests.

      @@sherazali3751 I'm not an expert, but I think if you offer a variety of seeds at the same time but not in the same cup. I hang millet in one part of the cage and a honey sick on another wall plus the regular food in his cup. It not only adds a variety of food but gives the bird something to think about. You can also stop feeding for a couple of hours then try feeding from your hand. This works particularly well for male birds I've had. I hope this helps 🙂

      They arent actually good info first of no millet in the cage, pellets should be base food (cold pressed) seeds only in foraging toys fruits at a max 3 times per week and a veggie chop with each veggie benefiting a specific part of the birds body for them to get proper nutrients.

    • @Scott_From_Canada
      @Scott_From_Canada 6 років тому +11

      Mirrors are good for birds because it helps promote the idea of a flock. It is not a bad thing for them to think there are other birds, that's the point. Most birds (including budgies) are flock animals and mirrors in their cage help promote the idea of a larger flock. They dont try to feed the other budgie, they just interact with the mirror.

    • @sammc5299

      They can be good, but you should never keep one in its cage at all times. Maybe once a week, then trade it out for another toy. That's what I do, and my budgies see it as like a playdate with a friend!

    Day before Yesterday I found a budgie under the tree in my Hostel his both legs were broken. He couldn't stand, laying on his side. He tried to fly but he keeps falling.
    I take him to my Hostel room,give him food and water(he doesn't eat) and keep him in a shoe box (I made many hole through that). I tried my best to reduce his pain but he keeps hitting himself ( he is afraid of human). That night it was with me. On the morning I again tried to feed him but he didn't eat. I kept him in sun light coming from window. And there is no sign of recovery.
    On the next day I have an exam and because of him I couldn't study so I called my friend.
    Sadly, me and my friend decided that we should let him go.
    Then we put him in the balcony he was not ready to fly, looking at me but then he flew towards the tree and sit on the branch and then i left...
    After two hours I couldn't stop my self and I came back to my room but that budgie was not on the tree. I was searching for him in the hostel but couldn't find him........
    I am feeling so depressed.
    I couldn't stop thinking about him.

      Deciduous Frost
      You can hang greens in his cage like toys to gain interest. Try giving foods of different tastes and colours, and chop and blend them to gain interest. Even try cooking the veggies. Sometimes your budgie seeing you eat these foods alows him to trust them.

    • @anna-jh6ds

    • @gkalenaki
      @gkalenaki 7 років тому +4

      First, make sure your feathery friend is NOT afraid of the hand that brings new food to her! :) Then, try and mix some pieces (cut in small pieces for a small customer ^^) with the regular food. Or try and have some (solid enough) big pieces of fruit/veg threaded with a couple of colourful yarn, so that you can hang it from the top of the cage as a toy ( tying also a small bell recommended!). Any mix and match of colours, shapes and textures will surely draw her attention! :)

Im not stressing about my male as I have no idea of his background and he wouldn't have survived outside. As long as he is happy then so am I 😊

  • @pikabird
    @pikabird 5 років тому

    My budgie loves blueberries, apple, cherries, hardboiled egg, watermelon, carrots, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, grapes, bok choy, yu choy, lettuce, spinach, grape tomatoes, cucumber, pineapple, papaya. Basically whatever veg and fruits I eat, he eats. He has been with me for 5 years and he was already an adult when I adopted him from the humane society. He was caught outside apparently. He was already at least 1-2 years old when I adopted him as he does not look like a juvenile. So he's now around 7-8 if not more years old.

      Your budgie only eats seeds because thats whats natural for it. Fruit is something the humans introduced to it and its not natural for it. Parsley is the only fruit im okay giving my budgies since they love it in their baths. And apple leaves and sticks, set those in the cage so they have something to nibble.

      BlueDiamond Well, I see your idea there but modern laws would rather bury your body and take up land. Eating them when they are dead wouldn't be the best idea, who would eat their loved ones? Even a person that didnr know them. Cannibalism wold have worked 1000 years ago, but now we have better food then a dead person, and as I said they make laws against it. I see your idea though.
