Parakeets and large parakeets

Feeding your parakeets and large parakeets well

From budgies and cockatiels to ringneck and grass parakeets, these hookbilled birds need a balanced seed mix to stay lively, colourful and healthy throughout the year.

Which seeds should I choose for a budgie?

A small parakeet enjoys a fine mix based on millet, canary seed and small grains. Avoid overly fatty blends and pick a variety that covers its energy needs without encouraging weight gain.

Do large parakeets have the same needs?

No: ringnecks and grass parakeets call for bigger, richer seeds, with more sunflower, hulled oats and cereals to support their more powerful metabolism.

Our range of parakeet food

• Small parakeet mixes : spray millet, canary seed and fine grains for budgies and cockatiels.
• Large parakeet mixes : recipes enriched with sunflower and cereals for sturdier beaks.
• Supplements and treats : millet sprays, cuttlebone and mineral blocks for plumage and beak.

The AnimalParadise expert tip: refill the feeder every day and blow away the empty husks on top: a parakeet eats only the seed, not the shell, and can go hungry without you noticing.
