Hello
I have two budgies, the male is six and a half years old and never before arrive at home had eaten any fruit or vegetable. He only eats seeds. The femail arrived at home a year ago, she was lost in a park, I think she is young, perhaps she is two years old ( i can't be sure) and I don't know what type of feeding she had before she arrived at home. The problem is that I want they have a good health and I think is important they eat more than seeds buy I don't know how can I introduce this vegetables or fruits. I tried to put only fruit and vegetables at the morning but I see than they don't eat nothing and I am afraid they can fall ill because they don't eat nothing. I tried also to mix the seeds with the vegetables and fruits but the problem is this case, they don't eat nor seeds and vegetables. Has anybody an idea to have success in the introduction to vegetables and fruits?
Thanks and regards
M.J.

Introducing new diets to budgies is a long process which takes from weeks to months. The key is patience and persistence.
However budgies on only seed diet can be provided with vitamin supplements in drinking water and would be fine.

Thank for your answer
By now I am going to try to introduce again these fresh food, Today I have registered the weight of both budgies to avoid they will have health problems. If I see that they loss a lot of weight then I will feed only with seeds adding a supplement in their water. Do you know what vitamins have I introduce in the water?

There are various brands in different parts of the world. I use BioPlus from BirdCareCo which has prebiotic, herbs, electrolytes, vitamins and minerals.

Thank you I look for in internet this brand and I will search something like that in Spain M.J. You can order from BirdCareCo in UK. For international orders they don't charge VAT and that amount somewhat covers international delivery charges. You will end up paying UK retail price. Contact them. They are good.
