Frequently Asked Questions
What is budgies' favourite food?
Budgies can eat banana, strawberries, apples, grapes, oranges, peaches, blueberry, pear, raisins, mango, melon (all varieties), nectarines, cherries (ensure you've removed the stone) and kiwis. Tropical fruits are also a favourite.
What do budgies love?
Apples, bananas, a variety of berries, grapes, kiwi, mango, melons, nectarine, papaya, peach, pears, plum, variety of citrus, raspberries, strawberries and even tomatoes can be given. Fruit brings a little bit of fun into a budgie's life as they like to play with their food!
Can budgies drink milk?
Dairy products should be consumed in moderation, as birds are lactose-intolerant. Very salty foods (chips, pretzels, popcorn), chocolate, products containing caffeine (coffee, tea, soda), and alcoholic beverages should never be fed to your budgie.
What age do budgies fly?
Budgies/Parakeets are fully feathered and able to fly at approximately 4-5 weeks. They may be clumsy the first few days but they can certainly fly. Larger parrots such as macaws may take 4-5 months before they are able to fly as they take much longer to wean and fledge (fly) from the nest.
