I am about to buy my first parakeet, but I don't know what kinds of nuts to feed it as treats. PLEASE, HELP!!

Answer 1

Parakeets are really to small to eat  a lot of nuts, however, try to feed them lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, broccoli, spinach, apple, oranges, grapes-what's good for you is good for them.

NEVER FEEDS-chocolate, avocado, anything with caffeine, no dairy, there's a large list.

Had pet birds for over 20 years

Answer 2

Try monkey nuts, pistachios, brazil, almonds, but only as a treat, nuts contain a lot of fat.

Never feed salted nuts. Certain nuts like pecans are polished and contain dyes, never feed these.

Nuts are a good source of phosphorous,potassium, vitamin A, zinc, folic acid, and many other essential vitamins and nutrients, but do contain fat, so feed in moderation.

Answer 3

If you want to treat your parakeet, give them spray millet or millet spray (it goes by various names).  They love it!

Answer 5

many parakeets will eat just about anything.  I would give it normal parakeet and small bird seed for its staple diet.  But, for a snack, give it some popcorn, pasta, cheerios, crackers, etc.

I never give my parrots too many nuts, as they are pretty high in protein.  But most things are good in moderation.  Heck, my birds even eat ice-cream.
