I was wondering what do you budgies really crave? Mine seem to like so much Smooth Sow Thistle - Sonchus Oleraceus

Corn on the cob is their overall favourite, followed by carrot

Seeding grasses are the very best. It is their natural food of choice. But as for common kitchen-variety veggies, it would have to be corn, carrot, broccoli, asian greens and snow peas.

Broccoli, from the cage to shredded around the whole room including stuck to the wall- in minutes. They do eat it as well though as it's plastered all around their chops for good measure...

Remember not to leave the fresh food sitting in the cage for too long - a breeder of bacteria and can easily make the birds sick. Especially in summer it is important to remove it after a few hours.

If one way doesn't work, try another. Shredded, sliced thinly, large chunks, in a bowl, sprinkled over seed, pegged to the side of the cage, on skewers ..... Any way you can think of that just may grab their attention. Meantime, have a look through this thread may be of some use. budgerigarsforum.proboards.com/thread/509/fresh-foods-offer-budgie

Sent from my U9200 using proboards I wouldn't leave any fresh foods in the cage overnight, if you pop it in in the morning when you do their cage, water etc and then take it out after 4-5 hours max (depending on the heat etc) that's a good way of making sure bacteria aren't breeding on your birds food. Keep trying with the veggies, persistence is the key with budgies!
