The male budgie my family had years ago would show plenty of excitement every time he'd see a piece of fruit/vegetable or even egg yolk in my hands, heading for his cage! Before eating, he would chirp loudly, moving his head up and down, then approach the piece of food and gently touch it with his foot and beak, while leaning closer and murmuring softly to it. It was like he was making a love confesssion to his treats before eating them, lol! I miss him so, watching him being like this would cheer up even the worst days... He had such a character!
My last budgie lived for 14 years 4 months. She lived on a seed and grain mix, millet and honey sticks. They are native to Australia and are ground feeding seed eaters. It was a beautiful sight to see large flocks of budgies in the wild, although they are considered by some to be pests.
@@amandakay789 I buy Kaytee honey flavoured treat sticks. I usually use Kaytee gourmet recipe seeds. I also feed Moore's millet seeds. I live in Canada.
@@jocelynkelland287 ok but I can't seem to feed my parakeet anything else but sun flower seeds AND just sun flower seeds he doesn't even eat any other seed i think it's because the shop we got him from would treat all the animals very poorly they put like 10 rabbits in 1 small cage so I think they only feed the birds sunflower seeds not only did they sale only sunflowers seeds but yeah can you help me change his diet?
@@sherazali3751 I'm not an expert, but I think if you offer a variety of seeds at the same time but not in the same cup. I hang millet in one part of the cage and a honey sick on another wall plus the regular food in his cup. It not only adds a variety of food but gives the bird something to think about. You can also stop feeding for a couple of hours then try feeding from your hand. This works particularly well for male birds I've had. I hope this helps 🙂
10-30% seeds 50-70% pellets (i recommend tops, zupreem, or roudybush) 10-20% vegetables and occasional fruits (just because fruits are high in sugar) bgut introducing budgies to new diets is very hard so do lots of research and be patient
Zupreem pellets have soy, corn, artificial color, sugar, and vegetable oil. It's like junk food to birds. I recommend Top's pellets. It's cold pressed, does not have corn, soy, sugars, and random ingredients.
yes grandma. rad up on your bird hatching her eggs, I just went thru it and it is amazing ! they are 3 months old now and I love to watch them. Having babies at such a young age is just for the birds , Not you. You have school and college work to finish first. Enjoy your babies GRANDMA th-cam.com/video/k-h8TX3TZ5s/w-d-xo.html
Yes, I can understand. Now if you have enough time then you can start it over once again. I Started once again after a lapse of 20 years, during this lock down, the best way to remove your stress and forget everything and give time to these Buddies.
@@floydninosimblante4688 u just set a bird to be killed ... it would have been nice if you have given it to someone who would love to take care of the budgie.
They arent actually good info first of no millet in the cage, pellets should be base food (cold pressed) seeds only in foraging toys fruits at a max 3 times per week and a veggie chop with each veggie benefiting a specific part of the birds body for them to get proper nutrients.
Tilly Cox-Thompson this was a while back..I’ve decided to ditch the commercial seed food since then and I feed them the chop for parakeets that bird tricks came up with! I also mix commercial pellets in with that. Zupreem seems to be the best brand.
Its really weird to see a bird eating a egg...even tho they come to life in a egg edit : guys, this comment is 3 years old now. No need to prove how budgies can eat other species' eggs, lmao. I was around 12 at that time too.
My budgies were not eating banana. So I dipped their banana in their trio mixed seeds and they liked it. By this way I comforted them having banana. Now they have banana without dipping them in their seeds!
@BrianTheGaemr Thank you! Try to feed them varieties of fruits and veggies. If they don't like it bare, then try dipping the fruits or veggies in trio mixed seed!
Fascinating, helpful and interesting video. Thank you. Who'd have thought budgies like to eat fruit and vegetables. So much to take in and learn. I get mine tomorrow morning. Not had one since a young lad so really looking forward to it. Quite daunting at the same time. :)
I bought my budgie from a breeder yesterday , he told me that she doesn’t need to eat anything other than seeds, after watching this my heart broke! I’m going to start teaching her how to eat fruits and veggies, she’s already eating oranges and apples. Wish me luck!
If your budgie will start eating other things, you won't go back to that shop to buy food, making a loss for them, hence they bluff/scare you to not feed them anything
Agree.... The person i have taken the budgies he also suggested not give anything other than seeds that I bought from his shop... Only Fenugreek green leaves can be given... Other foods may sound good but later on they may create health issues .....so i stopped other things
My budgie who died a few days ago would always try to eat the foods I eat If I had a cookie he would fly to my shoulder and try to eat if I had a crossient or buns literally everything :( I miss him soo much
My budgie will not eat anything other than seats millet and sometimes freeze dried fruit please help I’ve tried feeding it apples blueberries papaya strawberries hard boil eggs but I will not eat it also my female bird just laid a fertile egg any tips could help
I need to tell you , you are amazing ,you learned me so much . You always make my day by your birds or learning of budgies :) Also your English is amazing! I see your from Sarajevo. So talking English like that is absolutely amazing. Like you are a "Dvojezična Osoba" You are Awesome dude ;)
I tried mixing vegies with millet, but These birds are as clever as humans, Every morning I would Watch them just staring at the millet and picking one by one
Love that- I really hope my budgies don’t do that because they’re rescues and they were mistreated and fed only seeds. I’m trying to be slow with it but I’m just worried
Right now, I've two budgies. For 11 years i' am feeding budgies. I'd budgie who around 9 years old but unfortunately i lost her :( I didn't stop feeding budgies, I am happy with these animals. Thank you for this video and your effort. Greeting you from Turkey.
my budgie wont give me its trust so i dont know if its possible to feed it fruits and vegetables, but the gourmet i feed it has multiple types of fruits and vegetables in it not just seeds so is that good enough alen?
My budgies will only eat apples tried every trick I saw with other veggies and fruits (dipping them in seeds, cutting small pieces and mixing them into seed-pellet mix, cutting into different shapes, taking the seed-pellet mix out and just leaving fresh food, eating in front of them, etc)
Anyone else buying a budgie tomorrow and staying up all night watching budgie videos just to prepare? No just me? Ok I’ll leave After I’ve like my own comment 😅
BlueDiamond Well, I see your idea there but modern laws would rather bury your body and take up land. Eating them when they are dead wouldn't be the best idea, who would eat their loved ones? Even a person that didnr know them. Cannibalism wold have worked 1000 years ago, but now we have better food then a dead person, and as I said they make laws against it. I see your idea though.
BlueDiamond people are a lot of calories, so a lot of living people would become an unhealthy weight, so I don’t think that’s a very good idea but I see how you got it.
Potato Chip, they think that the mirror reflection is another bird and try to bond with it, trying to feed it and so on, imagine you in a enclosed area with a mirror, not knowing what it is, and thinking your reflection is another person.
Mirrors are good for birds because it helps promote the idea of a flock. It is not a bad thing for them to think there are other birds, that's the point. Most birds (including budgies) are flock animals and mirrors in their cage help promote the idea of a larger flock. They dont try to feed the other budgie, they just interact with the mirror.
They're okay for a little bit. Mirrors also substitute other birds and if you have a mirror up for a little bit, it gives you time to get another bird for them.
@@Scott_From_Canada non true thing, They can be stressed. And they try to feed it, that's bad. They need real mate. Budgies live in flocks, that's why never buy one budgie
They can be good, but you should never keep one in its cage at all times. Maybe once a week, then trade it out for another toy. That's what I do, and my budgies see it as like a playdate with a friend!
Thanks for uploadibg this video.. and the thing is i hav bought the budgies but it wont eat any fruits wat can i do and how can i make dat to have d fruits
It’s my birthday today and I got a small shy boy budgie, I kept saying names to him and he would only scratch his head when I said Bobo lol so he’s bobo now :D
Deciduous Frost You can hang greens in his cage like toys to gain interest. Try giving foods of different tastes and colours, and chop and blend them to gain interest. Even try cooking the veggies. Sometimes your budgie seeing you eat these foods alows him to trust them.
First, make sure your feathery friend is NOT afraid of the hand that brings new food to her! :) Then, try and mix some pieces (cut in small pieces for a small customer ^^) with the regular food. Or try and have some (solid enough) big pieces of fruit/veg threaded with a couple of colourful yarn, so that you can hang it from the top of the cage as a toy ( tying also a small bell recommended!). Any mix and match of colours, shapes and textures will surely draw her attention! :)
Mine were too, at the minute, Iv'e got them eating millet (which they are ADDICTED to, it also gives them something to do), broccoli, seed mix and I'm now trying them with grape which they like the flavor but not the texture. try broccoli first, for some reason they were both instantly hooked.
Is it okay to put your birds in a glass cage or an aquarium, I have suction cupped toys and feeders. But what are the pros and cons of having one glass cage?
@@JohnDoe-dv5nu I'm just gonna remove the top cover and replace it with something sturdy with little hole for the ventilation. And then I could use stickers in the glass to remind the bird that prevents them bump in ther
My budgie loves blueberries, apple, cherries, hardboiled egg, watermelon, carrots, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, grapes, bok choy, yu choy, lettuce, spinach, grape tomatoes, cucumber, pineapple, papaya. Basically whatever veg and fruits I eat, he eats. He has been with me for 5 years and he was already an adult when I adopted him from the humane society. He was caught outside apparently. He was already at least 1-2 years old when I adopted him as he does not look like a juvenile. So he's now around 7-8 if not more years old.
Have you tried chopping the fruits up into itsy bitsy pieces and mixing it with food? My budgie is very very picky and needy, the only way she will eat fruits or veggies is if they are very finely chopped. If that doesn't work I would consider contracting an avain vet or try freeze dried veggies and fruits.
@@renushrma1938 Glad to help! He/She may not eat it at first but KEEP TRYING!! It may take him/her awhile to even realize he/she can eat it. Best of luck!
just bombing it give it this kind of seed called nutri-berries there filled of nutrients for the bird and u can buy them at pet stores it’s healthy seed for the bird
Your budgie only eats seeds because thats whats natural for it. Fruit is something the humans introduced to it and its not natural for it. Parsley is the only fruit im okay giving my budgies since they love it in their baths. And apple leaves and sticks, set those in the cage so they have something to nibble.
Nice I feed my birds every day how it is in the video first I used to just give them seeds and they ware not so healthy but when I gave them the food in the video they ware healthy and happy I love this video I olso liked it and support it wow wow wow what a video love it
TheChicken Pals that’s very bad they need nutrition so they can be healthy! Or they could die. I’m just saying. Hopefully you changed your birds diet!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁
At times instead of the seeds introduce Vegetables and fruits ( Permitted ones ) slowly ... they will catch it up with time. I removed the seeds in the breakfast time and introduced vegetables cabbage, spinach, peas chopped in small bits and after 2-3 hours later gave then them the seeds ( Yellow Millet their best choice ) .... now they are slowly getting used to it. Hope this will be helpful... let me know if that helped .
TheChicken Pals I know right my birds don’t eat it but recently I’ve switched the paper in their cage that they shew on with banana peels >:D and put apple slices onto a wooden skewer
Why my budgie sleep all day.They want to play with my in morning.I'am not in home in morning.I don't know what i can do. My budgie eat seeds bananas,apple,in summer they eat too salad and cucamber.Can they eat tomatoes???

Deciduous Frost maybe if you start out with a little bit and give it a little more each day.
Deciduous Frost
You can hang greens in his cage like toys to gain interest. Try giving foods of different tastes and colours, and chop and blend them to gain interest. Even try cooking the veggies. Sometimes your budgie seeing you eat these foods alows him to trust them.
Deciduous Frost if it's really big foods try cutting them up and hand feeding them
First, make sure your feathery friend is NOT afraid of the hand that brings new food to her! :) Then, try and mix some pieces (cut in small pieces for a small customer ^^) with the regular food. Or try and have some (solid enough) big pieces of fruit/veg threaded with a couple of colourful yarn, so that you can hang it from the top of the cage as a toy ( tying also a small bell recommended!). Any mix and match of colours, shapes and textures will surely draw her attention! :)
Mine were too, at the minute, Iv'e got them eating millet (which they are ADDICTED to, it also gives them something to do), broccoli, seed mix and I'm now trying them with grape which they like the flavor but not the texture. try broccoli first, for some reason they were both instantly hooked.
Hope you are happy where ever you are little Cookie.❤️
IM SOOOO EXCITED IM GETTING A BUDGIE FOR NEW YEAR’s EVE!!!!!!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️
a bird eating eggs… i have seen it all
An apple a day keeps the veterinarian away
Are blueberry okay?
XxClarizaxX yes they are with bigger fruits remove the seeds
Is it okay to put your birds in a glass cage or an aquarium, I have suction cupped toys and feeders. But what are the pros and cons of having one glass cage?
The glass cage needs to have holes to breath through
also the budgies might not realise thT there is glass and might fly right into it
@@JohnDoe-dv5nu I'm just gonna remove the top cover and replace it with something sturdy with little hole for the ventilation. And then I could use stickers in the glass to remind the bird that prevents them bump in ther
My budgie loves blueberries, apple, cherries, hardboiled egg, watermelon, carrots, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, grapes, bok choy, yu choy, lettuce, spinach, grape tomatoes, cucumber, pineapple, papaya. Basically whatever veg and fruits I eat, he eats. He has been with me for 5 years and he was already an adult when I adopted him from the humane society. He was caught outside apparently. He was already at least 1-2 years old when I adopted him as he does not look like a juvenile. So he's now around 7-8 if not more years old.
My budgies doesn't eat anything except the seed ( "kagoon" in Nepal) .. I tried feeding it banana but it doesn't even look at it...😩😢
Same
Well there are other thing,s like carrot apple
Tysm this helped a lot bc I just bought my budgies and I dunno 🤷🏽♀️
Pls help me my budgie is not eat fruits and vegetables
Have you tried chopping the fruits up into itsy bitsy pieces and mixing it with food? My budgie is very very picky and needy, the only way she will eat fruits or veggies is if they are very finely chopped. If that doesn't work I would consider contracting an avain vet or try freeze dried veggies and fruits.
@@renushrma1938 Glad to help! He/She may not eat it at first but KEEP TRYING!! It may take him/her awhile to even realize he/she can eat it. Best of luck!
Best video I've found on how/what to feed them.
Beautiful budgies
what do I do if my Budgie eats only seeds?
just bombing it try giving it vegetables and fruits even if they don't eat it offer it daily and eventually they will eat it
just bombing it give it this kind of seed called nutri-berries there filled of nutrients for the bird and u can buy them at pet stores it’s healthy seed for the bird
thank you, I will do that and I wanted to thank those who helped me with this problem
Your budgie only eats seeds because thats whats natural for it. Fruit is something the humans introduced to it and its not natural for it. Parsley is the only fruit im okay giving my budgies since they love it in their baths. And apple leaves and sticks, set those in the cage so they have something to nibble.
Alissa Horse lover parsley's a herb mate
1:38 that’s your cousin
Wait so mammals are my cousins? What have I done
I had but I have three the birds and the cage tipped over they both flew away but one came back
🗾
😭

Im more scared of raising my budgie after seeing this video
You will manage. 😊
You can do it! I promise! I did it I’m only a kid
my budgie isn’t fully trained yet so it’s hard for me to feed him, it’s like I have a picky child on food
Update on him?
Our Budgie loves native plants and grasses. A benefit of having a budgie in it's native land.
it would be nice to have a link where these products can be found. Amazon is no help. At 2:50 I would like to get that feeder and water dispenser.
WHAT my budgies dont even eat fruits they just eat birdseeds no treats or calcium bells HOW does your birds eat so many foods!
TheChicken Pals that’s very bad they need nutrition so they can be healthy! Or they could die. I’m just saying. Hopefully you changed your birds diet!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁
@@kamin5635 do you know how I can covert them to vegetables fruits and stuff? Or if I were to put it in their food bowl would the just eat it?
MalfuNCTion Culture Technology you can cover the fruits in water at place seeds on them but he does have a video on a Apple seed cake for budgies
At times instead of the seeds introduce Vegetables and fruits ( Permitted ones ) slowly ... they will catch it up with time. I removed the seeds in the breakfast time and introduced vegetables cabbage, spinach, peas chopped in small bits and after 2-3 hours later gave then them the seeds ( Yellow Millet their best choice ) .... now they are slowly getting used to it. Hope this will be helpful... let me know if that helped .
TheChicken Pals I know right my birds don’t eat it but recently I’ve switched the paper in their cage that they shew on with banana peels >:D and put apple slices onto a wooden skewer
im secretly gonna buy my sister a budgie for her Bday :)
Do I have to feed them fruits everyday?
Yes. Feed him cuttlebone and apple, pear, pumpkin, and cherries.
GalaxyDogz4Life you must feed these foods very often, dont jeopardize your birda health.
No you can feed it veggies as well
DON'T forget vegetables!!!!!!!!
GalaxyDogz4Life not everyday just every few days it’s not an everyday thing
Thank you, I just bought a pair of these birds.
Thanks for all this help!😁
Why my budgie sleep all day.They want to play with my in morning.I'am not in home in morning.I don't know what i can do. My budgie eat seeds bananas,apple,in summer they eat too salad and cucamber.Can they eat tomatoes???
DAJA DAJA yes just take take the seeds out try to motivate your budgies to play with you by giving them a treat like millet they love it
Get your budgie another budgie to play with. Budgies are so very social and keeping them alone is bordering on animal abuse.
I have 2 budgies one eat everything but 2nd eat only seeds I usually give him fruts and some vegetables and I don't know how my budgie is healthy😐
me to
me to
