THE FOUNDATION

The 3 Essentials of a Healthy Budgie Diet

Avian scientists and nutritionists have discovered that the best diet for budgies combines fresh veggies, high-quality seeds and protein. Together, they provide a complete, balanced diet that keeps budgies healthy, happy and ensures a good lifespan.

01

Low-Fat Seed

Budgie-specific fresh low-fat seed is the Gold Standard, used and recommended by avian vets as the foundation of every meal.

02

Fresh Vegetables

Daily uncooked veggies, offered fresh, give budgies the vitamins and variety their seed alone can't provide.

03

Protein

In the wild, budgies forage for bugs and grubs. At home, a simple protein boost keeps them from becoming protein-deficient.

Why it Matters:

Storage Tip:

Keep your fresh seed in the fridge or freezer to lock in its exceptional nutritional value.

PART 02

Fresh Vegetables, Every Day

Budgies are generally will eat most veggies. Please take a look at the list below; we typically use the top four, which are proven favourites, but you can give them what you usually buy for your own home.

Broccoli chopped fine
Celery part stalk & leaf

When introducing a new vegetable, one day of refusal doesn't mean lifelong refusal. A small sprinkle of seed on top of the chop often encourages acceptance — and keeping the portion small makes it easy to see whether they've eaten it.
