Here’s my budgies’ daily diet! They have two established mealtimes per day, but I give them a little more than they can finish in one setting so they don’t go hungry in between meals. Here’s their routine:

Morning (7-8 AM): Chop, often with sprouts, pellets, and/or eggs

Afternoon (4-5 AM): Chop mixed with pellets and seeds

I personally feed Harrison’s pellets. I know they’re controversial because of “filler” ingredients, but I personally don’t view that as a problem. I also recommend Roudybush and Tops pellets, but I’ve found that budgies are reluctant to try them.

They also get a high-quality seed mix. Seeds shouldn’t be overfed because of their high fat content, but they are part of a budgie’s natural diet and should be fed in moderation (IMO).

Their chop recipe varies from time to time, but some of their favorite fresh foods include peppers, bok choy, spinach, carrots, apples, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, sprouts, etc. There are a ton of vegetable options for birds, so I’d recommend experimenting to find out what yours likes best

Budgies can also benefit from eating eggs, nuts, sprouts, herbs, and fruit in smaller amounts. Sprouts are a good option for birds that are picky about veggies.

Do NOT feed avocado, rhubarb, tomatoes, onions, or any other toxic food.

Good luck, and happy parronting!
