How much do budgies eat a day?

Budgies typically eat about 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of food per day. This amount includes a balanced mix of seeds, pellets, and fresh vegetables or fruits.

Here’s a breakdown of a budgie’s daily diet:

• Seeds or Pellets: These should make up the base of their diet, and the recommended portion is around 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of seeds or pellets daily. Many bird owners prefer pellets because they offer balanced nutrition, whereas seeds can be high in fat.
• Fresh Vegetables and Fruits: Budgies should also get small servings of fresh veggies or fruits daily. Leafy greens, carrots, broccoli, and apple slices are great choices. Offer about 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh produce.

It’s important to monitor how much your budgie eats and adjust based on its size and activity level. Make sure to remove any uneaten fresh foods after a few hours to prevent spoilage. Also, fresh water should always be available.
