Budgerigars are very active birds, in the wild they manage to quickly adapt to weather and territorial conditions. Therefore, the daily diet of wild wavy is extremely diverse: fresh shoots / buds of trees and shrubs, grass seeds and all kinds of grains from farm fields, fruits, berries, and as a drink, if there are no bodies of water nearby, parrots are content with dew or juicy fruits and young grass.

Budgerigars peel each grain of the shell, so the appearance of a full feeder can be created, although in fact it is already empty there.

The grain mixture must be kept in the trough at all times.

Porridge- improve metabolism, a rich source of trace elements, cook in water (buckwheat / oatmeal / rolled oats / lentils - cook for 10 minutes, but you can also steam it, pearl barley - 30 min., Barley / corn / wheat / millet / rice - 20 min.).

What can be fed: red millet with spikelets, chumiza, paiza, mogar and senegalese millet. If you give in excess, the bird will refuse to eat food, but will only wait for treats. If it is a spikelet, then it is enough to give one small sprig-ball per day.

It is categorically impossible: nuts, cones, seeds and grains (some of them are present in the main feed, but in minimal quantities, since they are very nutritious and contain fats and to a greater extent affect the functioning of the liver and gastrointestinal tract).

• Organic sand is a mineral supplement that is formed from crushed oyster shells. Inorganic sand realizes the functions of gastroliths and normalizes digestion. You can find similar substances at your pet store.
• Sepia and mineral stone. These substances are necessary for a full-fledged metabolism, the growth of feathers and bones. They play a key role in the laying of eggs. Sepia is part of the skeleton of a cuttlefish. The substance must always be present in the cage, the birds replenish their supply of minerals and undermine the beak.

Lovebirds

Playful, lively, beautiful and unpretentious birds. They are small in size and bright in color. Females and males choose each other for life, so they should be bought in pairs.

How to feed lovebird parrots:

• The basis of the diet is standard - a cereal mixture, but lovebirds consume more food than the previous species, about four teaspoons per day. However, more mature pets will need a smaller proportion - 2-3 spoons per day.
• The bird can be given several sunflower seeds per day (5-6 pieces). An excessive amount of seeds is very harmful.
• Greens are a real treat for lovebirds. Such food for parrots can be represented by wheat germ, fresh grass, dandelion leaves.
• As a mineral supplement, you can use shell rock, chalk, gravel. These substances must always be present in the cell.

• Branch feed. This component should be present on the menu throughout the year. Birds eat ripe buds with pleasure. If in the spring / summer period their extraction is not difficult, the rest of the time, especially in winter, the branches are cut off and placed in warm water...

NutriBird hand-fed food will help owners of those parrots who have hatched chicks, but parents refuse to feed them. In addition, similar mixtures are used when removing a large number offspring when adult birds do not have time to feed all the babies.

In Russia, Padovan has gained wide popularity. The product line includes special mixtures for budgerigars, complete feed for large and medium-sized birds. They contain optimal concentrations of vitamins, minerals and are composed of a large number of cereals.

Among the premium goods, it is customary to single out the Vitakraft product line. Favorite pets can get not only standard food, but also various delicacies. The brand's specialists have developed special products enriched with grass seeds, flax and methionine granules. Acacia flowers and dates are added to the mixture to mimic the diet found in their natural habitat.

Review of ready-made feeds made in Russia

RIO feeds have been presented on the domestic market for over 20 years. The food is positioned as high quality, but at a reasonable price. The brand produces food for all types of parrots.

VAKA feeds are presented in the richest variety. Any host can choose from cheap to premium. However, the products Russian production inferior in quality to imported ones, as evidenced by the reviews of bird owners.

General conditions of detention

How should parrots be kept at home? The feathered should have a spacious comfortable cage, equipped with crossbars, toys, a feeding trough, a place to sleep, a nest. The pet must be periodically released from captivity so that it can fly and walk around the apartment.

The bird must have free access to drinking water, and the feed is added as needed. Regular maintenance of the place of residence is important. Every day the cell is cleaned of debris and waste products. You can put a special powder or newspaper on the bottom.

They also willingly eat oats, canary grass, sunflower seeds, field grasses. I recommend buying ready-made mixtures immediately, it is simple and does not require any special worries. In addition to dry food, you need to give your pet a mixture of finely chopped eggs, grated carrots and dried chopped nettles two to three times a week.

When the couple is feeding the chicks, the mixture should be given daily. Of course, the components of the mixture can be changed: for example, instead of an egg, give homemade cheese, and instead of carrots - beets. True, your ward after such dishes will look like Dracula.

You can feed budgies with germinated food. In the warm season, live vitamins are very shown: lettuce or dandelion leaves, dill, parsley. Only you need to give all this environmentally friendly, untreated with chemicals. I killed my Goshka with cabbage treated with chemicals. As I indicated above, at any time of the year, let the bird gnaw on the branches of willow and fruit trees.

What the parrot eats. From time to time, stick a piece of sweet apple between the twigs. I heard that it is recommended to give even a piece of banana, but it is soft and can clog the bird's goiter.

Before feeding the budgerigar, remember: Never give any bird salted food or salt. Kill the bird! At my friend's, a parrot flew freely around the room and pecked salt from a salt shaker. Everyone was happy. But not for long, the parrot died in torment.

What can you feed a budgerigar besides food

There is another type of delicacy:millet in spikelets. In pet shops you can find large, overseas. But we sowed millet in the field ourselves, dried the spikelets that reached it and gave them to the bird all winter. It is more pleasant for her to pluck millet from a spikelet than peeled from a feeder.

We continue the story about what you can feed the wavy parrot. The next treat was suggested to me by the saleswoman of the veterinary pharmacy. Take a crump of bread or a loaf (rye is absolutely impossible), thread the wire through the bread so that later you can fix the cage on the rods, dry it and the delicacy is ready. See how much joy there will be, especially for the females. Only it should not be given often.

Food for wavy parrots and treats should be given in dosage. When kept at home, birds do not move much and can become obese.

A few words about water. I have already mentioned that it needs to be changed every day so that it does not stagnate. From time to time, especially in winter, it will not hurt to add 10-15 drops of lemon juice into the water. Lemon juice kills harmful bacteria, plus a rich source

It is for this reason that it is extremely important to get answers to such questions: "How should a budgerigar be fed?", "How many times a day do parrots need food?" and " Is there any standard food for the budgie at all?". Today we will try to answer these and many other questions.

Currently, in zoological stores you can buy a wide variety of cereal mixtures for feeding budgerigars, which perfectly help to establish the diet of domestic flyers and greatly facilitate their daily care.

As a rule, almost all food for parrots should be based on: canary seed, millet, raw sunflower seeds and different varieties oats. Usually, feed different brands contain different amounts of one or another component.

The main task of the owner of a budgerigar is to choose and buy the right food that his pet should like.

When choosing one or another food for your pet, you need to consider several important nuances:

1. Garbage bad smell, dirt and mold are not allowed to the grain mixture.
   Therefore, you need to carefully check each grain mixture you purchase for the expiration date and the integrity of the packaging itself.
2. Bird watchers strongly recommend buying ready-made mixtures in sealed containers, the storage of which is due to the lack of oxygen inside the package.
   Rotten grains and various kinds of insects are very rare in vacuum containers.
3. You need to feed your flying pet when there are no food debris in its feeder.
   You should not give the talker as much grain mixture as he eats - a strict norm must be observed.
4. It is highly undesirable for the male to eat the most delicious and nutritious grains, leaving the remains to his chicks.
5. As a rule, a medium-sized budgerigar should be given no more than 1-2 tablespoons of grain mixture per day.
6. Do not purchase foods that your pet eats without much enthusiasm.

It is clinically proven that no dry grain mixture can fully provide the budgerigar with adequate nutrition. Especially when it comes to feeding small chicks.

"Wet" food for budgies

To provide correct development and the growth of your pet, it is necessary to introduce into its menu all kinds of additives from fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits.

After all, the pet's food should not only be balanced, but also tasty. To do this, you need to figure out what you can eat and what is not recommended.

Fresh greens are the key to good health

Every day, fresh greens should be on your talking flyer's menu, as they are the most valuable link in proper nutrition budgies.

But before you feed your pet with fresh grass, you need to consider several important rules:

1. It is categorically impossible to pick off armfuls of grass in your yard for feeding a parrot, because a poisonous plant can also be caught among them.
2. Before "feeding" the freshly picked grass to your bird, you should thoroughly rinse it, as it is clearly covered with harmful toxic substances that threaten the life of your feathered friend.
3. On the eve of winter, it is better to refrain from collecting herbs and leaves. This is due to the fact that in the autumn in vegetation of this kind nutrients practically not, even more, they begin to accumulate harmful substances... At such a time, you can give your decorative birds leaves of indoor plants.
4. To organize feeding the parrot with herbs, you do not need to grind them, but tie them into small bunches, which will subsequently be suspended on the rods of its cage. How many such beams should there be? It all depends on the needs of your pet - as a rule, you need to hang no more than three bunches of greens every day.

• plantain leaves and shoots;
• dandelions - from leaves to seeds;
• wood lice;
• any kind of clover;
• bird highlander;
• Blooming Sally;
• weeds such as wheatgrass, timothy grass, hedgehog, foxtail;
• group medicinal plants- cuff, string, nettle (pre-scalded with boiling water).

Vegetable component of the budgerigars' diet

How many parrots do not feed with a grain mixture, but most of the vitamins and minerals he will receive only from fresh vegetables. Ideally, birds should have vegetables plucked from their own garden every day in their diet.

However, today, not every owner of such poultry has private plot, and if you can't buy food at the "grandmother's" market, then at least try to choose the freshest vegetables for your pets in the store.

So, the following vegetables can be given to parrots:

1. Pumpkin, melon, squash, squash will be an excellent source of carbohydrates for your flying pets. Fruits with seeds inside are especially useful.
2. Carrots, beets, turnips, grated on a fine grater and mixed with egg yolk or croutons will be an excellent treat for birds. How much of these vegetables can you give? Exactly as much as your pet will eat.
3. Cucumbers, tomatoes are an integral part of the diet of parrots. It is important to remember that unripe fruits contain toxic substances, so you need to make sure they are ripe before giving them to your pet.
4. It's good if your pet's diet includes at least one day a week. green pea, corn, cabbage and beans.
5. Sweet peppers are rich in useful vitamins and a trace element, so it fits perfectly into the menu of parrots.

The main thing to remember is that before you give your pet any of the above vegetables, you need to make sure that it is thoroughly washed.

What fruits can be included in the diet of budgerigars?

To ensure the full development and existence of your feathered talker, you need to provide him good diet, in which fruits occupy one of the most important links.

Parrots eat apples and pears well. It is noteworthy that these fruits can be purchased in any month of the year, providing your pet with the vitamins and minerals necessary for it.

You can also buy oranges with tangerines in any store. You need to give these fruits only in a peeled form. But with grapes, you need to be a little more careful, giving only one grape every day.

Bananas are especially popular with parrots, which, by the way, are a source of starch and sugar. Due to the fact that this fruit cannot be stored for a long time, you should give several slices to your pet, and if he does not eat them completely, then the remains must be removed from the cage so that they do not start to rot.

You can diversify the diet of your feathered pet with cherries, plums, cherries, peeled kiwi, pomegranate seeds, peaches and apricots. However, it is important to remember that everything has its own measure.

Strawberries, blueberries, rose hips, rowan berries and other berries will also perfectly fit into the budgies menu.

What shouldn't be on the budgerigar menu?

It is important not only to organize the correct diet for your flying pets, but also to protect them from the harmful effects of one or another product.

The poultry health is based on many factors, the most important of which is the right feed. How to feed young budgerigars? This article contains all the information that will help you understand this issue.

Plant feed

Plant seeds are the staple food for all birds. Budgerigars are no exception. What can you feed a bird so as not to harm its well-being? Pet stores sell already completed packages of cereal mixtures, which are selected in the percentage ratio that is needed for budgies. Before packing, such feed is enriched with microelements useful for poultry. In addition, the mixture may contain fruits, berries, chalk.

If you still do not trust the feed industrial production, then you can develop a diet for your feathered pet yourself. Check out the list of What you can feed your bird to make it feel great?

1. millet, oats, flaxseed and canary seed.
2. Sprouted grain.
3. lettuce, sorrel, vegetable tops. In the warm season, you can give fresh leaves and flowers of clover, dandelion, plantain.
4. Fruits: pear, apple, banana, kiwi, citrus (without skin). Strawberries, strawberries and raspberries.
5. Carrots, beets, cucumbers, radishes, cabbage (previously doused with boiling water), Bell pepper- all these products are very fond of budgerigars.

How to feed your little feathered friend in winter period, when there are practically no useful elements left in vegetables and fruits? It is recommended to give the parrot raisins, dried apricots, prunes, rose hips. Previously, these products must be steamed. The bird will eat them with pleasure, while receiving a lot of vitamins and minerals.

Animal feed

In the diet of birds, dairy products (cottage cheese, milk powder), chicken eggs, liver, honey can be present in very small doses. The parrot is given 2 times a week (10-12 pieces). Bloodworms are one of the favorite treats of these birds and can be fed in unlimited quantities.

Cereal porridge. Do budgies eat them?

What else can you feed your bird to keep it healthy? Porridge should be present in the bird's diet 2-3 times a week. It can be buckwheat, millet, rice, and any other porridge that you cook for yourself. Naturally, for a parrot this "dish" cannot be salted and flavored with any oil.

Minerals on the feathered pet's menu

A parrot's diet should always contain mineral supplements. Better to get them at a pet store. Manufacturers release them in briquettes, which can be hung in a cage or crushed and poured into a plate. The composition of the mineral complex usually includes the following components: shells, egg shells, chalk, sand, salt, wood ash, calcium.

How many times to feed the budgerigar

However, the bird should always have food, like water, in a cage. The feeling of greed is not inherent in the parrot, so he will not eat too much. It is important to keep food fresh at all times. If porridge or food of animal origin remains in the trough, then it should not be left overnight. She will still deteriorate by morning, and a bird, having eaten such a product, can get sick. It is best to give the food to the parrot in small portions and add as needed throughout the day.
