Budgie Food: Everyday Seed Mixes for Your Budgie at Home

Budgie Food: Everyday Fare for Small Parakeets

Budgies are lively birds and they like to eat. To keep plumage and condition right, they need a clean seed mix in the correct size. Here you will find budgie food from Leimüller in three grades, plus sprouting food for special times and millet spray as a treat. That covers the daily need and gives you the right addition for breeding and moulting right away.

Classic, Premium and Vital

The Budgie Food Classic is the solid base mix for every day. Premium relies on a higher grade composition and is meant for keepers who would like to offer their bird a little more. The Vital variety rounds the range off if you value a particularly varied mix. All three types consist of seeds matched to the small beak of a budgie, so the choice comes down to how much variety you want in the bowl. Fill the bowl fresh every day, blow off the empty husks and keep the supply dry and cool, then the food stays good for a long time.

Sprouting food and millet spray

Sprouting food for budgies is made from seeds that are brought to germinate. It is in demand above all during breeding and moulting, when the need rises, and it is offered on top of the daily mix. Millet spray from Austria is a treat to nibble. It keeps your bird busy, because it has to pull the seeds from the spray itself, yet it replaces no staple food in the bowl. Hang the spray so that your budgie can reach it comfortably.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budgie eat?
That depends on age, exercise and housing. Offer the mix fresh each day and watch how much is really eaten, then you will soon find the right amount for your bird.

When do I give sprouting food?
Sprouting food suits the breeding and moulting season especially. Offer it alongside the seed mix and take leftovers out of the cage again on the same day.

Is millet spray allowed daily?
Millet spray is a treat rather than a staple. Give it in moderation as an occupation, while the daily seed mix in the bowl stays the foundation.
