Yes, but moderation is key. Use striped sunflower and peanuts as part of a varied diet (never salted/roasted). Watch body condition and adjust.

Budgie/Canary 1–2 tsp; Cockatiel/Lovebird 1.5–3 tbsp; Medium parrots 3–6 tbsp (including fresh foods). Always provide fresh water.

Offer a mineral block/cuttlebone for calcium. Insoluble grit is often used for finches/canaries; many parrots don’t require it routinely.

Transition over 5–7 days (75/25 → 50/50 → 25/75), monitoring droppings, appetite and weight.

Replace seed/water daily; wash bowls daily; wipe perches/trays several times per week. Increase frequency in warm weather.

Use appropriately sized ports, add seed catchers, and offer amounts birds clear in 1–2 days. Vacuum hulls regularly.
