While treats can be given, they are not a balanced diet, and a new food should be purchased and given as soon as possible to avoid any illness or GI upset. In the future, placing their food in an airtight storage container made from plastic can help prevent rodents from getting to it.

You can supplement the diet with a small amount of a fortified seed mix, fresh greens and vegetables, cooked grains/beans/pastas and plain rice.

Hi and thanks for your post on Boop by Petco! Good question. You may put your budgies anywhere where there is the least amount of temperature fluctuation as these birds can be sensitive to sudden temperature changes. I would also avoid particularly sunny areas or areas where doors open or where windows are as drafts and intense sunlight can cause health problems. I hope this helps and thank you for using Boop by Petco!
