A base diet is an essential part of your parakeet’s daily routine. Other items are added as snacks or additions to this base diet. This base diet should be nutritionally sound as possible. To meet this goal, Lafeber has developed a line of specialized bird food products that are balanced, delicious, and contain nutritious, non-GMO ingredients. Here’s a breakdown of Lafeber’s line of bird foods.

Millet
Millet is a cheap and easy to grow seed that will attract many different birds. It is especially suitable for parakeets and other small birds, as it doesn’t contain many calories. Millet is also highly nutritious. Birds don’t prefer it if it’s red, so it’s best to buy white millet instead. You can also add millet to a mixture with sunflower seeds to attract more different bird species in your yard.
Millet is popular with ground-feeding birds, including starlings and juncos. It’s also a favorite of quail, cardinals, juncos, doves, and even a few species of sparrows. This grain can be offered near cover or on a low platform feeder to attract these birds. But don’t forget that millet isn’t the only food choice for parakeets.
Spray millet
Among the many types of bird foods available for pet birds, spray millet is one of the best. It is a highly digestible, natural source of protein and phosphorus. It is also rich in other nutrients like iron and niacin. In addition to its high nutritional value, this wild food is easy to grow and does not have much fat. This means that it can be fed to pet birds in moderation and prevent obesity and liver disease.
In order to provide spray millet to your parakeet, make sure you hang the holder tightly. Make sure that it is not too low, otherwise it may fall and be discarded. Alternatively, you can use a holder made specifically for spray millet. The holder will catch the sprayed millet and keep it from falling to the cage floor.
Pistachios
While pistachios are a tasty snack for parakeets, their seed coat can be difficult to remove from their beaks. Pistachios can be shelled and the seed coat removed. When preparing pistachios for wild birds, remember to rinse them thoroughly before serving them to the birds. Pistachios also make an excellent whole food snack for wild birds.
You can give your parrots pistachios as a treat, but be sure to watch the amount of salt they eat. Pistachios are rich in protein, fat, and carbohydrates, making them a great snack for your birds. Their quick energy source means they are an excellent choice for moulting birds. Additionally, they are one of the few nuts that contain more antioxidants than any other nut, including pecans and walnuts.
You can also try to feed your birds fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Try to avoid whole nuts as they can be dangerous to parakeets. A tasty supplement to a parakeet’s diet is whole-grain bread. Make sure that the bread you buy does not contain preservatives or other potentially harmful additives. Avoid commercially-made breads such as Franz and Wonder. Stick with the natural variety.
