What Bird food would you recommend for the little chicken nugget Kiki? And what snacks is he allowed to eat? His favourite are apples and pears.
I am not sure what foods you have available in your area but my favorites are Lafeber Nutri-Berries/ Avi-Cakes and Mazuri small bird feed: https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-food/classic-nutri-berries/ https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-food/avi-cakes/ http://www.mazuri.com/mazurismallbirdmaintenance-2.5lb.aspx Fruits, vegetables and greens should account for approximately 20 - 25% of the daily diet. Avocado is reported to be potentially toxic so avoid feeding this. Fruits and vegetables must be washed thoroughly to remove chemicals. Cut them into manageable pieces depending on the size of the bird. It is not necessary to take the skin off. Offer fruits and vegetables in a separate dish. If your bird appears to develop a particular fancy for one food item, reduce its volume or stop feeding it temporarily to promote the eating of other foods. Treat your bird like a small child; offer a small piece of a variety of food items daily and never stop trying. Hope this answers your que

I went to the shops and saw some flaky dry vegetable. I provide my budgies fresh fruit and vegetables but is it safe to feed her the dry flaky vegetable? The package had no instructions so I don't know if I can give her them. Btw are pellets good for
Pellets are the best to feed birds. I don't know what website your sister was reading. An all seed diet is considered bad. As a guideline, most budgies can be maintained on 1.5 - 2 level measure teaspoons of seeds per bird, per day in a shallow dish, depending on the size of the bird. If there are any seeds left over in the dish at the end of the day, it suggests that too many seeds were offered originally. Seeds are more like a "treat" than anything compromising maybe 5% of the diet. They should not be the main staple. Pellets have been developed to meet all the bird's nutritional needs. Pellets are the ideal diet. Pellets should ideally represent approximately 75-80% of the bird's diet. Fruits, vegetables and greens should account for approximately 20 - 25% of the daily diet. They must be washed thoroughly to remove chemicals. Cut them into manageable pieces depending on the size of the bird. Offer fruits and vegetables in a separate dish.

So the bird food had a lot of mouse droplets in it even in the bag I didn't expect it at all and now as you see in the picture they are waiting for their food I have to go get some but that will take some time how long can they without food i can giv
If the food is full of mouse droppings it is best to purchase new food ASAP. While treats can be given, they are not a balanced diet, and a new food should be purchased and given as soon as possible to avoid any illness or GI upset. In the future, placing their food in an airtight storage container made from plastic can help prevent rodents from getting to it.

The cage set up appears to be appropriate for two parakeets. As suggested by your friend, it is always recommended to have any new pets examined by a veterinarian to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre existing conditions.

My bird seems to have dead skin peeling off his tail feathers? I couldnt get a better picture than this because he hates being held. It didn't seem to be causing any pain. I give him regular baths. I he tried giving him carrot because it's rich in v
Poor Quiz. Nutritional deficiencies can cause issues with the feathers and beak, so if he's also having trouble eating, a vet visit wouldn't hurt to rule out any deficiencies or other issues that could be causing his problems. Making sure he's on a balanced diet can also help ensure he gets enough nutrition. Other snacks such as salad greens, apple slices, strawberries etc, are also easier for a budgie to eat and break down and can provide additional nutrition.
