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.

What toys are the best for parakeets
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?
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.
Can I give gruel to my Indian ringneck parrot.
My female budgie has laid 6 eggs out of which 5 have hatched. Should i feed her corriander and spinach along with seeds? Please help. Thanks.
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.
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?
I just got my parakeet yesterday and since getting him home he hasn't been eating or drinking. He has been using his perches and swings but not his bell toys. I'm a first time parakeet owner and I'm not sure if this is normal and I'm just very concerned. He is already comfortable with hands and can step up well, which makes him not eating more concerning to me.
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?
What are some of the best staple feeders to give a baby, juvenile and adult bearded dragon?
My parakeet is stretching its neck with it's beak open repeatedly for no apparent reason. It's feces have a green discoloration and it also is spending lots of time at the bottom of it's 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.
