What is the best food for my bird?

Different species of birds have differing requirements for nutrients and food sources in their diet, so it's important to do your research. Check out the table below for a 'rule of thumb' guide to feeding the major pet bird species.

Cockatiels, lovebirds & budgies 50% good quality pellets, 30% budgie seed mix, 20% vegetables plus a small amount of fruit Try Peckish Naturals Adult Hookbill Small Pellets: all natural and enriched with essential vitamins and minerals, the consistent distribution of nutrients through each pellet prevents birds from selectively eating particular ingredients, a drawback of seed based diets.
Galahs & cockatoos 50% pellets, 30% fresh fruit and vegetables, 10% seeds or millet, and 10% fresh grass and native Australian plants Try Passwell Parrot Pellets: a low fat alternative to seed based diets and enriched with omega fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins & minerals for superior, balanced nutrition.
Most other psittacines 90% good quality pellets, 10% vegetables plus a small amount of fruit. Try Vetafarm Parrot Essentials: a complete extruded pellet diet suitable for pet and breeding parrots featuring 5% real fruit and 5% fresh nuts for variety and enrichment.
Canaries & finches 80% good quality pellets, 10% quality seed mix, 10% small chopped vegetables plus a small amount of fruit Try Vetafarm Finch, Canary & Budgie Crumbles: enriched with all essential vitamins and minerals, this mix is a complete and balanced food for pet and breeding finches, budgies and canaries.

Tips for transitioning your bird from seed to pellets

  • - Birds generally prefer to eat from a higher place, so put the pellet container at the highest part of your bird's cage and the seed container much lower
  • - Sprinkle a small amount of pellets over the top of the seed
  • - Pretend to eat the pellets yourself before offering to your bird
  • - Moisten the pellets into a paste with the previous food, gradually reducing the quantities of previous food and water added to the paste
  • - For budgies and cockatiels, place a 'hall of mirrors' just above the pellet dish and place pellets on the mirrored shelf. This may 'trick' them into believing another bird is eating the pellets
  • - Provide lots of praise when you observe your bird eating the pellets
