My budgie came to me on an all seed diet. He was extremely unhealthy. I have had him for a year now and can I just say how much of a change has been made. He eats veggie chop every day with much delight and has Harrison’s pellets in the evening and throughout the day. So if you have a bird that hates vegetables like mine did. Do not give up because that just hurts your bird even more.

@person11lol66 3 жыл бұрын

eunice yew so it took me about two weeks to get him onto pellets and then an additional one week to get him on veggies. My bird really liked the pellets wet and mushed with some seeds and it took kinda of a long time to get him to eat the pellets dry and by themselves. I had to slowly make them less wet and reduce the seeds. Now he goes crazy for pellets and I got him to eat chop by adding pellets into it and doing the same thing of slowly adding less pellets to the chop. Hope this helps is you are trying to get yours to eat healthy

Before watching this, I'm going to guess some ways to get your birds to eat healthy: 1] Tell them they're going to go to bed without dinner if they don't eat the healthy food. 2] Tell them the poor birds in other countries can't afford to be picky about what they eat. 3] Get them one of those nutrition calculator apps (assuming you can prevent them from biting apart their computer or smartphone.) 4] Teach them rhymes about healthy and unhealthy foods, like "When I shy from meats and cheese I will be safe from heart disease If I eat just nut and seeds, An early death is guaranteed I love veggies, green and red, For great health in the years ahead Well-made pellets in my diet Guarantee I won't be quiet!" 5] Make them watch this Live Laugh Birds video.

If you need your bird to get some essential amino acids but they won’t eat anything but seed and something like apples I highly suggest you get them “egg food” it is honey and egg bits, works great especially around the time when the girl is laying because we sprinkle extra in there along with a bunch of calcium grit and she picks out the grit and egg bits and eats them over the seed :)

I just wanna say I’ve only been following you for a little over a week and you’ve helped me out no end with your advice. My kakarikis have always eaten fruit n veg but my cockatiels were so fussy .. I struggled to get them to eat anything besides seeds and millet .. I watched this video and the one about ‘chop food’ I bought wild rice, barley etc to add to it and in less than 3 days they have totally taken to it. I leave it out all day but around an hour and then I put a lil seed in their cages for when they go in in the evening. I gotta be honest I’ve spent over £300 this weekend on new perches and chew toys and new foods. Although I love my birds I always felt guilty about my cockatiels seed diet even tho I was giving them vitamins I still felt it wasn’t enough. The best thing about mornings now is their messy chop beaks 😍 Thank you so much for all your advice. 🦜 💚

This video was so helpful. I have 2 two month old budgies, one yellow and one green and they didn’t eat chop the first time I made it for them but this time I put seeds in there and they finished nearly all the chop! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!!

I'm so glad you made this! I've been trying to switch my birds to pellets and veggies instead of seeds. This was really helpful!

My budgie only eats the sweet potato’s in my chop

My birds love sweet potatoes too!

Maybe you can make the sweet potato even softer so you can mix it with the other vegetables and knead it into balls so when they're eating the sweet potato they're also eating the other veggies :)

What a FANTASTIC video! You are so knowledgeable and so entertaining. I absolutely love watching your videos and I watch them from beginning to end 💕 I am definitely going to try some of your tricks for some of my birds that will absolutely not touch vegetables. It's very hard to give vegetables to 46 Birds 😱 They are all on a very good pelleted diet with thrown in Nutri berries & pellet berries. They also love almonds, walnuts, bananas, apples & cheerios. They also get their chop a few days a week. With so many birds it gets so messy and it is so hard to control where all this food goes 😱 So, unfortunately I cannot give such a huge variety all the time or I would have a mess to clean up every minute of the day. Sometimes I wish I only had a few birds like you so I could concentrate on just them, but having a huge flock like I have I just have to do the best I can 💕

I just got my first cockatiel! I have 2 budgies already and they LOVE their chop! I use the seed method on them lol. But now, my little cockatiel wants nothing to do with his! So we are getting there! This video really helped!

I tried feeding my new budgie broccoli She kept flying around in the cage as soon as she saw it. Edit: Day 2 of trying to feed my budgie vegetables and she finally nibbled on some of it.

I love that you gave us sooo many options and tips in this video!! You really know that every bird is different and we need to trying different things. I have my budgies since January and they eat a lot of vegetables ( in chop), fruits, they have pellet diet, they eat millet and seed outside the cage as a treat (training and bonding), ..., and I am very happy because all that progress is because of your videos!! I’m so happy 😭❤️ although they already eat vegetables I want to try more variety and give them to them in different ways (like the ideas in this video) because so far they only like vegetables in chop!! Can’t wait!

I agree - my bird doesn’t like anything with too much moisture. I found the best way to get him to eat veggies is either cutting it up into tiny pieces and mixing it with some seeds or by offering it to him with my fingers. So far he will only eat baby spinach, green beans, parsley (although not a huge fan), and he nibbles at corn like Ducky did in the video but usually just tosses it around lol. He is also a cockatiel. So far he won’t even touch fruit!
