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.

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. 😂

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.

@@ivagrujic248 I'm Australian. I had wild budgies and galahs in my backyard. I then moved to Melbourne and lived on the edge of rainforest where I had cockatoos and rosellas as residents. I observed what they ate, when seeds and fruit were available... Budgies main diet consists of grasses ( about 50 kinds) and other plants that grow amongst grasses. They do eat seeds, but as a small part of the diet. Most Budgie owners totally ignore the need for grasses in their budgies diet.

@jaydebpal7839 3 жыл бұрын

@@annburge291 What kind of grass can we give them ?

@annburge291 3 жыл бұрын

@@jaydebpal7839 if you grow the bird seeds, most are in the grass family. So are oats, wheat, rye, corn (only very young plants are edible by budgies). Then you have rhizome grasses such as couch grass, Johnson grass, bull grass. You have standard lawn grasses ( make sure no chemicals added). Then there are the clump forming grasses such as switch, maiden, fountain. The new growth is near the roots with grass plants and it is sweeter and more filled with carbohydrates. The older leaf stems have more protein. The really old leaves have more fats/ oils. Ideally budgies need to be offered the whole leaf and they eat what they need. The grass seeds are high in starches ( carbohydrates) some protein and some fat ( mainly omega 6 and 9). The problem with a high seed diet is that plants also produce lectins to protect their seeds. These lectin proteins attack insects nervous systems...in large doses lectins also affect budgies and humans nervous systems and causes inflammation. The green part of grass leaves is much lower in lectins that's why I recommend giving ample amount of the sprouted and grown grasses and measure the seeds (1 tsp seeds/ Budgie/ day).
