The budgie parrot, also known as the budgie macaw, is a bird that eats a wide range of foods. Their food list includes a variety of fruits, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and insects, which makes budgies ideal for keeping as pet birds.
When it comes to budgie food, peaches have to be mentioned. This delicious fruit, for budgies, is completely digestible. In addition to peaches, parrots can also enjoy apples, kiwifruit, mangoes, dragon fruits, bananas, and many other fruits. However, it is important to note when feeding parrots that when they are deficient in vitamin A, a series of symptoms can occur, such as growth retardation, loose feathers, poor mobility, etc.
In order to ensure that their nutrition is balanced, we need to pay special attention to the feeding of budgies. When feeding parrot peaches, in addition to the peaches themselves, they should also be accompanied by other foods rich in vitamin A. Also, although peaches are delicious, we must be aware that it contains a lot of sugar. For budgies, consuming too much of this high-sugar, high-water food can have adverse effects on their health.
In addition, there is one thing to pay attention to when feeding parrots, and that is walnut shells. Budgies are unable to digest walnut shells, so when feeding peaches, peach pits must be removed. Only in this way can we ensure that the budgie diet is delicious and healthy.
