A practical starting point for choosing and using budgie food. Product directions should always be followed.

Still unsure? Contact Haith’s →
What budgie seed should a new keeper choose?

There is no single mix that will be right for every budgie. Start by considering what the bird is already accustomed to eating and choose a clearly labelled food intended for budgies.

Haith’s BRAVO! Budgie Seed™ is an established everyday mix, while Tip Top Budgie Seed includes traces of Haith’s Budgie Tonic. Introduce any dietary change gradually and monitor what your bird eats.

Is seed the only food a budgie needs?

Budgie-feeding routines can include more than one type of food, but the appropriate balance depends on the individual bird. Fresh foods, formulated diets and supplementary products should be introduced safely and in appropriate quantities.

If you are uncertain about your bird’s diet, particularly where health, weight or a sudden change in appetite is concerned, seek advice from an avian veterinary professional.

How should I use Haith’s Budgie Tonic?

Budgie Tonic is a supplementary seed mixture rather than a replacement for the bird’s principal food. Follow the current instructions on the product packaging and product page when deciding how much and how often to offer it.

Should I give my budgie millet sprays?

Millet sprays can add variety to the way food is presented. They should be offered in sensible quantities as part of the bird’s wider feeding routine, rather than automatically replacing its established food.

Does every budgie need grit?

Requirements and bird-keeping practices can vary according to the bird, its diet and the type of product being considered. Grit, mineralised grit and oystershell are not necessarily interchangeable, so read each product description carefully.

If you are unsure whether a particular product is appropriate for your budgie, ask an experienced bird-keeping professional or an avian veterinary professional.

How should budgie seed be stored?

Keep bird food securely closed in a cool, dry place. Protect it from moisture, pests and contamination, and check the food before feeding. Remove food that appears damp, stale, mouldy or otherwise unsuitable.

How do I change my budgie’s food?

Avoid making an abrupt change without checking that the bird is accepting and eating the new food. Introduce changes gradually, monitor food intake and watch the bird’s behaviour and condition.

Seek prompt professional advice if the bird stops eating, appears unwell or experiences an unexplained change in condition.
