, by Michael van Wassem, 2 min reading time

Caring for budgies can be a very rewarding task. Budgies are colourful, intelligent birds that require plenty of attention and the right environment to thrive. In this blog, we share some essential tips on bird care, including specific advice on their nutrition, pet behaviour and the right toys for enrichment.

Nutrition for Budgies

Trixie Snack Bar Met Zonnebloempitten

A varied diet is crucial for your budgie’s health. Although seeds often form the basis of their diet, it is important to supplement them with fresh fruits and vegetables. A great way to provide your bird with the nutrients it needs is to use suitable feeding items that also stimulate them mentally.

A recommended option is the Trixie Snack Bar Met Zonnebloempitten. This can playfully contribute to their daily seed intake and is a fantastic addition to their diet.

Pet Behaviour and Bird Enrichment

Just like dogs and cats, birds need both mental and physical stimulation. This can be achieved with toys specially designed for birds. For example, rattling balls that are not only entertaining but also stimulate their senses.

You can try the Trixie Ratel Ballen Jute. This toy not only helps prevent boredom but also encourages natural playful behaviour. Even though it was originally made for cats, it is also enjoyable for birds!

Pet Health Advice

Make sure to have your budgie’s health checked regularly by a veterinarian. Pay attention to signs of stress or illness and respond appropriately. Budgies can be sensitive to changes in their environment, so they require sufficient care and attention.
