Hi all I am thinking about breeding 2 of my budgies (Daisy and Gilbert) at the end of the year and I am wondering what diet would give them the best possible chance for fertile eggs and strong healthy chicks. At ideas? Thanks, Nicola

just need clean water daily, budgie seed and also plain canary seed which the parents feed to their young!! I give mine chopped veg daily! you can give them 'eggfood' which I buy in !!

Breeding diet should start a month before the breeding. Meanwhile, a good varied diet will do

Mine get a standard diet of high quality seed mix with a multivitamin, a cuttlebone, assorted fruits and veg (their favourites are parsley and apple), a dry eggfood mix, and because they fly free in a room that has two free range rabbits and a macaw, they help themselves to alfalfa pellets, timothy hay, and whatever is in the parrot's dish (roudybush and harrison's pellets mostly). If hens feeding chicks seem to be craving something extra I offer them a clay supplement.
