Question

What meats or proteins can i feed my budgies?

Answer 1

I've never heard of budgies being herbivores before in my life....it is simply not true.

Budgies, like ALL parrot species are omnivores. This means they eat both plant & animal products. In the wild they get their protein from bugs & insect. In captivity since they don't have this we give them well cooked chicken & egg with shell. These are perfectly safe & good for their health & foods they should be offered, especially through breeding & moult stages.

A herbivore is an animal like our wallaby or kangaroo. They eat only plants. Parrots do not.

Answer 2

Budgies are herbivores, so I wouldn't feed them meat.  Vegetables would be good, but I'd primarily rely on the food from the pet story (Kaytee's maybe).

You can take a healthy human recipe and make it for budgies. Just make sure to take out things like sugar, salt, milk, butter, flour and substitute unsweetened juice, or sugar-free Jiffy cornbread mix. Add in fruits, veggies, crushed pellets, seed, millet, etc.

FORBIDDEN TO BUDGIES: Teflon, canned veggies, non-organic fruits & veggies, avocados, eggplant, rhubarb, potato leaves, tomato leaves, bean plant leaves, apple seeds, alcohol, coffee, tea, chocolate, tobacco, apricot seeds, cherrie seeds, peach seeds, pear seeds, plum seeds, avocado pits, peanuts, mold.
