Can Budgies Eat Sunflower Seeds?

Resolved

Yes, budgies can eat sunflower seeds, but they should be given in moderation.

Sunflower seeds are rich in fats, protein, and some essential vitamins like vitamin E, making them a tasty and nutritious snack. However, because they are high in fat, feeding too many sunflower seeds can lead to weight gain or obesity in budgies, especially if they become a primary food source.

To offer sunflower seeds safely, provide them as an occasional treat or mix them in small amounts with other seeds and pellets. It’s important to balance their diet with healthier, lower-fat options, including fresh vegetables, fruits, and grains, to ensure overall health.
