Budgerigars that grow in the wild generally feed on the seeds of various plants. In addition, they also eat the buds and leaves of some plants to satisfy their hunger. In autumn, parrots will fly to the fields to steal food. During this period, the consumption of parrots will increase to prepare for the energy consumption in winter.

The budgerigar raised at home can feed millet, brown rice, raw melon seeds, buckwheat and other grains. These grains contain a lot of carbohydrates, which can be converted into energy and enhance satiety. Parrots also like to eat hemp seeds, but because the fat content of hemp seeds is relatively high, the daily feeding amount should not be too much.

Besides grain, you can also give parrots some fruits and vegetables. Budgerigars like carrots, cabbages, cabbages, apples, bananas and so on. These fruits and vegetables are easy to digest and absorb, and can also supplement vitamins for parrots.

Second, the parrot diet taboo

1, the owner should feed the parrot with pure natural food. Fruits and vegetables don't need to be boiled, and you can't add oil, salt and other seasonings. If the fruit is just taken out of the refrigerator, it should be given to the parrot after reaching the gastrointestinal state to avoid the symptoms of diarrhea after the parrot's stomach is cold.

2, vegetables and fruits should be washed before feeding, if possible, it is recommended to disinfect, reduce pesticide residues and eggs on food, and avoid parrots from being infected with parasites after eating raw vegetables frequently.

3. Eating unclean food often can easily lead to parrot diarrhea. So novice parrots should pay special attention to changing fresh drinking water and food in time, at least twice a day. If the parrot can't finish eating, throw it away in time, and then clean the food cups and water cups used by the parrot for eating and drinking.

4. Parrot feces are easy to breed a lot of bacteria in humid environment. Caged parrots should always clean the cage to avoid bringing feces to food or water when parrots move in the cage, which will cause enteritis after eating.

The above are the dietary preferences and precautions of parrots. In addition, I would like to remind you that digestive diseases of parrots are often related to unclean food, so you must not take it lightly or be lazy!
