Parakeet Food
Parakeet foods are specially formulated to be a balanced blend of nutrients for a healthy diet for your parakeet. While parakeet diets may include fortified seed, pellet, or a mix of the two, there are plenty of different blends for even the pickiest of birds. A balanced diet is essential for good health in any pet bird and specially formulated diets should be supplemented with fruits and vegetables, treats, millet and cuttlebone.
FAQs About Parakeet Food
Specialized pellets should make up 60 to 70% of their diet, plus fresh vegetables, fruits and small amounts of fortified seeds. Treats should not exceed 10% of total food intake.
Fresh food and water should always be available. Vegetables and fruits not eaten within a few hours should be discarded. Treats should not exceed 10% of total food intake.
There are a variety of treats for parakeets–including sticks, berries and toppers, millet and an assortment of fruit and vegetables, such as bananas, zucchini, bell pepper, mango, peas and corn–that can be a delightful additive to your bird's diet. Do not feed birds avocado, fruit seeds, chocolate, caffeine or alcohol. Sugar and high fat treats should be avoided. Consult your veterinarian for a complete list of safe and non-safe foods for your parakeet.

List of the best bird foods for parakeets
I have 2 parakeets and I have been feeding them seeds and millet. I believe that what I am currently feeding them is not nutritious. I am currently training them to eat fruit and vegetables and to be hand tamed. I would like to know what food can I buy for them so they can eat nutritious and I can take my time training them.
What toys are the best for parakeets
What food should I be buying for my budgie, so that I do not need to buy a separate vitamin liquid or powder?

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?
Hi! I recently got a little baby parakeet. So far, she’s been doing very well; it’s been a little over a month. However, instead of eating all of her seed mixture, I think she just picks through & eats her favorites because there are a lot of remnants at the bottom of her cage that are uneaten. She eats kaytee Fiesta seed mix. Should I change it? Add something else? Or what what I incorporate in her diet to make sheets she’s getting what she needs? She’s tried apple so far.
What Bird food would you recommend for the little chicken nugget Kiki? And what snacks is he allowed to eat? His favourite are apples and pears.
What is a good diet for a green check conure . When we bought him he was on seeds he is still a baby I guess , o my 4 months old . I started him on zupreem pellets but he was not eating only that so the store recommended the zupreem smart blend that has seeds and pellets . I give him fruit and veggies, not sure on exactly which fruits and veggies too . Plus which pellets and should be his regular diet as he is inky 56-57 grams. As you said he is fine weight wise . Please guide on regular diet.
I have a yellow crown amazon parrot, and I want to provide him with a variety of foods, such as vegetables and berries, but I don’t know what is good and bad for them. Help please! My parrot LOVES peanuts, like when i feed him his nut mix, he always goes for the peanuts first.
Is there a good high calorie supplement, vitamin or food that I can offer my seed junkie parakeet? She scored a poor body condition, was described as thin at her exam. Currently taking Metacam for an ouchy foot.
So I got my new bird this for now. But I'm confused. Should I not feed my bird seeds and feed it pellets or is the feed ok that I have? What else should my bird have? Can he have fruits?
