Many novice pet owners see parakeets as a
beginner pets and assume that a bowl of seeds and some water is enough.
However, seeds alone can’t meet your parakeet’s nutritional needs alone. Seeds
should only comprise 10% of your bird’s diet. Rely on high-quality parakeet
pellets as the main food in your parakeet’s diet. Buy these pellets from a
reputable pet supply company with high turnover so you know they are fresh. Your
parakeet needs fresh leafy greens such as romaine lettuce or spinach. Offer
crunchy vegetables such as squash or carrots too. Your parakeet will enjoy small
pieces of fruit such as apple slices or strawberries as a treat. A cuttlebone will
give your parakeet extra calcium and all that gnawing will keep his beak trim.
Ensure your parakeet has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Contact your Louisville, CO vet to learn more.
