budgie help??
Does anyone have parakeets?? I'm trying to get them to eat vegies because I know it is not good for their health to just eat seed. My birds aren't seed junkies yet but they will be if they don't start eating other things. I am also trying to get them used to my hand..they have gotten much better but still flinch when I move to fast,but they don't go crazy anymore when I put my hand In the cage to change their water or food.
any sugesstions on diet and how to get them interseted in other foods??

Why don't you try chopping up some vegetables into small pieces and mixing them in with the seed? You can slowly decrease the amount of seed they eat 'till they are off of the stuff completely.
Some good foods you can feed them are:
Sweet potato
Carrots
Beets
Turnips
Peas
Apples, Oranges, Cherries (Without the pits/seeds)
Mango
Those are just a few, but there are many more. Don't feed them peanuts, avocado or mushrooms because those can harm your birdies. =/
Good luck!
