How would you know what type of food is best for your Budgie? Also what should I always keep a millet stick in their cage?
A commercial pelleted diet is balanced, healthy and convenient. They can be found in most pet stores or online. Quality brands include Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber and Pretty Bird. You can supplement the diet with a small amount of a fortified seed mix, fresh greens and vegetables, cooked grains/beans/pastas and plain rice. Budgies and other birds also enjoy some scrambled egg occasionally.

I have two parakeets and one is acting weird it started to change like it isn’t as friendly and the other one and so friendly. I also need answers on what’s safe to have them eat for a treat or for fruits, are like freeze dried strawberries ok? Or an
Thanks for reaching out. Are these birds becoming more mature, therefore hierachy changing, or competition over food, perches, territory? The daily diet should consist of some seed but also fresh vegetables (all), a protein source such as cooked beans/tofu, therefore treats can be fruit (dried, fresh). Good luck.

So I got my new bird this for now. But I'm confused. Should I not feed my bird seeds and feed it pellets or is the feed ok that I have? What else should my bird have? Can he have fruits?
Hello again! These items look great for King, but the bag is correct - generally, parakeets and parrots should be fed a pellet-based diet to avoid fatty liver disease. Seed diets are high in fat (even without the sunflower seeds), so should be given as a treat supplementally only. Millet should also be given in moderation. Your bird can definitely have fruits, but include some veggies, too! Grapes, apple, banana, broccoli, kale, green beans, and peppers can be great for birds. Avoid avocado, apple cores/seeds, cherries (with seeds - seedless are ok) onion, and garlic. Dried fruits are ok too, just avoid the ones that have added sugar. I hope this helps! Good luck with King!

I made an egg food recipe for my budgies. Is it okay to give it to them right out of the refrigerator or should i let it warm up first?
It should be fine to give them the food right out of the fridge but they may be more willing to eat it if it's room temperature. Just don't microwave it because that could make portions of it too hot and potentially dangerous for the bird. I would try offering the food both cold and room temp and see which your bird prefers. Either should be safe. Hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

What shall I feed to my baby budgie who is momless ,in our country we don't have baby foods
There are various recipes available online, usually these are based on products such as cereals for human babies, peanut butter, apple sauce and baby food (e.g. https://www.cuteness.com/article/make-homemade-baby-cockatiel-food). I cannot really recommend those, perhaps only as a last resort. If you can get commercial pellets for adult parrots and grind them with water (pre-boiled) to prepare a slurry, that would work, but the commercial formulae are better. Please note that the food should be at 40-41C and prepared fresh for each feeding.
