There are two main types of bird food—pellets and seeds. Pellets are formulated diets made specifically for the needs of each species of bird. They contain a blend of grains, seeds, fruits and vegetables as well as the needed vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and other nutrients that your bird needs. The tasty flavors and enticing smells encourage your bird to eat. Bird seeds tend to be a favorite of birds, however they do not make up a complete and balanced diet. In general, seeds are high in fat and can be low in important vitamins and minerals. At a minimum, seed diets should be mixed proportionately with a pelleted diet to ensure your feather friend is receiving optimal nutrition.
Frequently Asked Questions
A balanced diet for your feathered friend consists of specialized species appropriate pellets making up 60 to 70% of their diet, plus fresh vegetables, fruits and a small amount of fortified seeds and treats.
Birds can be offered a variety of human food such as apples, bananas, cooked plain pasta and rice, eggshells, cheese and raisins. Always do your research and consult your veterinarian, as foods like avocado, fruit seeds, chocolate, caffeine or alcohol as these can cause serious medical conditions.
A seed only diet may not be balanced with the vitamins and minerals your feathered friend needs, and can be high in fat. Seed only diets are associated with numerous health concerns so you should always consult your veterinarian about any concerns with your bird's nutrition to ensure the healthiest and balanced diet is provided.

How would you know what type of food is best for your Budgie? Also what should I always keep a millet stick in their cage?
Can you name some very exciting treats for birds? I've been trying to connect with my bird for a while now, I've had him for two months, but he still doesn't trust me. I was hoping to get him to like me with some treats.
Hi, i have 2 new young cockatiels and we have to travel for around 4 nights and i want to leave them enough food, so i was wondering if it is okay to leave them homemade dried fruits, sunflower seeds and phalaris (canary seeds)? If dried fruits are okay, which fruits should i make for them? thanks in advance.

Can I feed Jasper Gerbers puffs as treats? (Banana flavored) I've been snacking on them myself and he seems to like them.
My cockatiel has been eating Leferber’s Premium Daily Diet pellets as a staple diet. She’s also been eating broccoli everyday. I also give her a bit of crushed eggshells once or twice a week. She has a cuttlebone available at all times. I’m wondering if this would be an okay product to give her? She isn’t much of a veggie eater. Will this be beneficial or unnecessary for her? I’m including the details of the product in attached photos. I do feed her some seeds as a treat sometimes. Thank you.
I handfeed my 7 1/2 week old cherry conure two times day morning & night. He eats seed, cereal, fruits & veggie on his own too. Can I stop formula now?
Would it be a good idea to provide only grain mix one day and only fruits and veggies the next day? would this be a good way to alternate the food and keep a balanced diet or do budgies need grain mix every day?
Hello, I have a female budgie named sweety.she is pregnant.what would be the source of calcium for her? Other than cuttlefish bone.....
