    Hello everyone merry christmas!!
    I was wondering how much food your budgies eat every day? I know lots of yours eat veggis already so please include your seed intake as well...
    right now I will put a teaspoon of mixed seed into her dish and when I get home a lot will be eaten and obviously it looks like she has picked through and just eaten what she likes... but there is still a little bit of seed left.. Is she eating enough?
    THanks

    HI birds will only eat when they feel like it.

    What i do is fill the seed dishes and they just blow out the seed husks i do this everyday.

    As for fruit and veggies you can try using a knife or thing tube push it through the fruit or the veggies and push some string throught and either hang these or attach them to the cage see if this entices him/her to try them do not worry if she does not ever eat them aslong as she is getting plenty of food and mineral and cuttlefish she will be fine.

    Birds confined to a cage usually eat less due to no being able to fly around and build up an appetite...
