What can and can parakeets eat?
You can feed your parakeets cucumbers and grapes in moderation. Bread isn’t nutritional and shouldn’t be offered. Romaine lettuce can occasionally be fed to parakeets. Iceburg lettuce isn’t nutritional and can cause health problems. There is plenty more food your parakeets can eat (and need) besides apples and birdseed. Some good fruits for your parakeets are apricots and cantaloupe (high in vitamin A), bananas (high in potassium), blueberries, strawberries, pears, peaches, and watermelon. Parakeets enjoy eating broccoli and carrots(high in vitamin A), spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, kale, turnip greens, dandelion greens, corn, and watercress. Fresh veggies are more nutritional than cooked. Always wash any raw fruits and veggies thoroughly with water to remove any pesticides and dirt. Parakeets can also eat hard-boiled eggs (great source of protein). Remove egg within 30 minutes because it spoils quickly. Calcium is needed in the form of a cuttlebone, mineral block, or crushed egg she
