Budgie Food

A simple canary + white millet style base provides dependable energy. Add small amounts of fresh greens/veg and clean water daily. Use conditioning (tonic) seed a few times per week—not every day.

Daily mixes are for routine feeding. Tonic mixes are richer and used 2–3× weekly for condition. Germination seed is designed to be soaked/sprouted to boost enzymes and vitamins—feed it fresh.

Typically 1–2 teaspoons per bird per day of dry seed, plus fresh foods. Monitor body condition and adjust.

Rinse well; soak 8–12 hours; drain and sprout 12–24 hours until tiny tails show. Rinse before feeding. Discard if sour/warm/slimy and clean equipment thoroughly.

Provide cuttlebone or a mineral block for calcium. Many keepers do not offer insoluble grit routinely to budgies.

Only unsalted, unroasted and in very small amounts as treats. The daily diet should remain seed-mix based with fresh foods.

Transition over 5–7 days: 75/25 → 50/50 → 25/75, watching appetite, droppings and weight.

Keep seed cool, dry and airtight off the floor; use first-in, first-out. Replace seed/water daily and wash bowls daily.
