Thank you for ALL of the "specifics" on parakeet food! It is so hard to find the right information when researching their diets. I have been a parakeet parent for over 10 years and I am always learning new things. I learnt about the no-go foods! Thank you so much for the info and list.

@hillary I would urge you to get an aviary veterinarian ASAP to check your budgie baby out. In the meanwhile I’m sending love and prayers up for you and your baby. Also there are some really great YouTube channels made to help new and old budgie parents. There’s a great one who has a budgie name blueberry but I don’t think I can remember the name. I really am thinking the budgie who is molting and has lose stool it could be anything from stress or the cookware you use or the other bird there or many other things so maybe call an aviary vet too or even take him to a mom and pop bird store- but not a chain pet store please! I am sending more hope and love up for your feathered baby too. Please give me an update will ya? I’d love to see if my prayers did help.

My keets constantly chew wood. I give hanging pet store wood items. Are Samrong (heart shaped seed pods used by florists) safe for keets to chew? Since I have one ... Thnx

Actually, your bird should eat a varied diet. The main part is fresh foods, followed by healthy organic non-GMO pellets. Seeds and nuts or fruit should remain as treats. They can also eat pasta and they also should eat some grains. Please listen to this comment. The pellets I am talking about are made by BirdTricks. Also, the best diet is the MOST varied diet. When you do this, you automatically feed everything besides pellets in moderation. Also, in the wild budgies DO eat certain insects, but DO NOT feed them insects in captivity because we do not know what kinds they eat and the only place we would find those insects is Australia. If you read this whole comment, then thank you very, very much. I am very accurate. I have been researching about owning parrots since I was like, 5. Thanks.
