What Birds Eat

A varied diet keeps a bird's feathers shiny and its body strong. These tips use budgies as an example.

🥣

Seed and pellets

Give a good budgie seed mix or pellets, and top up the bowl daily. Make sure the bowl has seed, not just empty husks.

🥬

Offer leafy greens, carrot, and small bits of apple. Wash everything well.

🦴

A cuttlebone gives a bird calcium and helps keep their beak in good shape.

💧

Change the water every day and wash the water pot.

🚫

Avocado, chocolate, caffeine, salty foods and onions are dangerous for birds.

🏡 Always ask a grown-up and a vet if you're unsure about caring for a pet.
