Budgie Seed 1kg Seed Mix is a popular, long-standing complementary feed specifically formulated for budgerigars and small parakeets. It provides a clean, nutrient-dense diet designed to mirror the essential energy needs of birds kept in cage or aviary environments.
Key Composition & Ingredients
The mix focuses on a traditional, clean formulation without unnecessary filler seeds:
- 50% Plain Canary Seed: Supplies rich protein, iron, and key amino acids necessary for maintaining muscle tone, strength, and vibrant plumage.
- 50% White/Yellow Millet: A digestible, carbohydrate-rich seed that gives birds a clean source of daily energy.
- Blended Marine / Marine Oil Dressing: Lightly coats the seed mix to provide extra essential fatty acids, aiding digestion and enhancing feather shine.
Nutritional Information
The typical breakdown of this blend includes:
- Protein: 15.0%
- Fat Content: 10.0%
- Crude Fibre: 8.0%
- Crude Ash: 4.0% [1]
Feeding Advice
- Husk Removal: Budgies remove the outer hull of the seed to eat the inner kernel. Ensure you blow away the empty husks daily so your bird can access the fresh food beneath.
- Dietary Balance: Because a seed-only diet lacks certain vitamins, ensure you supplement this mix with fresh water, iodine blocks, cuttlefish, and fresh leafy greens.
