Lovely video because it highlights the importance of green vegetables.... what people often don't realise is that seeds are high in omega 6 and omega 9 which causes inflammation. Seeds are a convenience to ensure your budgie doesn't go hungry if you have a busy lifestyle. 1 tsp/ Budgie/ day. Green leaves are critical for flying creatures ( including insects) because the water in the cells is structured... exclusion zone water.. it's more hydrating than simple water and the bird has less weight to carry. A budgie will only eat about the volume of its beak for each kind of food. With green vegetables try and provide two kinds of grass ( this is their main food by volume), a root vegetables green ( such as carrot tops, beet greens, parsley), a mustard family leaf or flower, a cruciferous vegetable ( rocket, cabbage) a lettuce family ( lettuce, dandelion), clover, amaranth leaves... Variety is crucial to avoid intoxication. Only rain forest parrots such as rosellas and cockatoos require a little fruit. Don't convince your budgie to eat fruit.. it's like convincing a child to drink soda. Birds that don't scratch the soil ( like chickens do) should not eat root vegetables such as carrot root or cooked potato because they are too high in starch and glucose). When cleaning your cage, grow the fallen seeds in soil and harvest the greens when they are sufficiently tall enough to cut with scissors. If you place food on the floor of the cage, it has to be in an area totally clean from droppings to avoid bacterial infections. Feed boiled egg once or twice a week as a bug substitute. They will only eat the amount of a pea in volume. Never let your budgie eat something contaminated with human saliva. They have a weaker and different immune from humans system. Never leave bath dishes in the cage for more than 15 minutes to avoid the budgie drinking poop contaminated water.

My budgies don't eat fruit and when is saw this I quickly pressed on it

[emmahmm]

For 2 months I kept putting veggies in my budgies other bowl and he didn't eat it. But now he loves veggies and his beak is always dirty😂

My budgies are young and have many "first time" experiences, at first they didnt want to eat anything but seed, but now that i have learned these tricks, they are more excited to get their veggies and fruits (:

[unicornsworld]

THE MISTAKES I MADE IS - *I DIDN'T CUT THE FRUIT THIN, DIDNT CAMOUFLAGE THE FRUIT*

[Anmaychannel]

My birds literally started eating veggies by the seed dipping tip
You have good knowledge about them

I need to tell my mom to give our two budgies more veggies and fruit. She's normally the one who feeds our birds, since I'm very clumsy with knives. I don't want them to leave us too soon, since I already grew attached to them so much.

I learnt one from a channel ..to introduce new food, remove the seeds at night before the birds go to sleep and give the new food at Early morning as they eat most of their food at morning and remove after 6 hours and repeat for 10 days

Omg thank you so much for the fruits and veggies trick!! I always try to feed my budgie some apple or sometimes strawberry but she doesn’t eat them :”) she only likes lettuce and cucumber, she also likes carrot but loves lettuce the most xD ive been trying to give her more to try but its getting hard haha, thanks again for these tips hopefully i can trick her with it so she can eat more vegetables and fruits :”D

I have eight budgies and six of them came from the same pet store. Three of them are my niece's. The people who worked there really fed them the right way not just seeds and I am glad I don't have that problem. It was because of those six that my two oldest ones finally started eating fruits and veggies. It really does work when you have a flock and that they learn from each other. They are quite a bunch of fun buns. 😂

I found this video very helpful ❤️ thank you very much . And a happy news for everyone is that my budgies layed an egg today 🎉🎊. Thanks for everyone who guided me . ❤️❤️❤️

[regasoup]

I somehow got my older budgies to eat their chop 😂. I tried so hard and then one day they just ate it! And they LOVE their chop. Also I really recommend the flock way. I got a new cockatiel a few weeks ago and she now eats the chop ok. Also my male cockatiel taught one of my budgies who didn’t like toys to chew and play!

You have got to be the most loving bird owner In the world

[mooandma]

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been stressing over my budgie (mango) because he refuses to eat anything other then seeds iceberg lettuce and carrots (he only eats carrots on rare occasions) I’m super excited to try these! :D have an amazing day!

[wobiii]

Thanks for sharing, my budgies don't like to eat veggies it's gonna help a lot! Also u r my favorite YouTuber!!

[Elly_]

Thx! My budgies finally eat fruit and vegetables!

[Michelle-]

Dipping the fruit in seed, that is so smart!! Thanks so much for sharing I'm going to try! Your birds are very lucky to have you 💖

My bird wouldn't eat veggies at all until I ground up some broccoli and put it on a compact mirror that lies flat. I put the mirror on the bottom of the cage with the broccoli and birdie came down to check herself out. She started eating the broccoli and now the mirror is what I use to feed her her veggies with. Birdie didn't like apples much, but really loves her broccoli and raw curly kale. Cauliflower was met with a lukewarm response and carrots were a no go. I may try giving her a thin slice of carrot and see how she likes that. The ideas you presented here were really good and I will try using some of them to give my bird a wider variety of veggies and fruit.

This is a fantastic video!! SO many people feed only seeds, especially to their small birds. We need to get the word out that seeds only are NOT good at all!! I’ve got 14 rescued parrots (4 are budgies) & my recently rescued Quaker ONLY ate sunflower seeds for 17yrs! She’s so weak that she can’t fly, & her feathers are almost oily as a result of the seeds...
Anyway? I just can’t tell you how much I LOVE seeing such happy healthy birds🥰❤️🦜Thank you!!
