Parakeet Food

A measured seed base plus daily vegetables/greens (e.g., leafy greens, peppers, carrot, broccoli). Offer fruit sparingly. Keep high-oil items (sunflower, peanuts, nuts) as occasional treats.

Yes—many small parrots (parakeets) do well on cockatiel/lovebird-style blends with millet, safflower and hemp. Monitor body condition and adjust portions.

Guide: 1.5–3 tbsp for small parakeets, including fresh foods. Adjust to size, activity and droppings.

• Great daily veg: leafy greens, peppers, carrot, broccoli, courgette, green beans.
• Avoid: avocado, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, onion, garlic, xylitol, and salty/fried foods.

Feed measured portions, mix seeds thoroughly, serve a finely chopped veg “chop”, and use foraging toys/trays to reduce selective eating.

Transition over 7–10 days (75/25 → 50/50 → 25/75), monitoring appetite, weight and droppings.

Store cool, dry, airtight off the floor; use first-in, first-out. Replace seed/water daily; wash bowls daily; clean perches/trays several times per week.
