Preparing Vegetables For Budgies

Veggies are served on a four day rotation (day 1 pellets, day 2 seeds, day 3 pellets, day 4 veggies). It's easier plus better for the birds in my opinion. I serve different frozen veggies for variety and add fresh dark leafy greens like kale or carrot tops if I have it plus about 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil for feather health. Dark leafy greens is sometimes clipped to the cage bars like fresh kale, carrot tops, collards, dandelion and celery leaves. My birds also enjoy mature grass and wheat stalks that have seeded.

@VooDooDollyAngel Before going to bed remove all food from cage. In the morning give them JUST veggies. Any frozen food section bagged veggie, preferrably one with corn, a birdy favorite. Heat and chop or put in a food proccesor and serve. These are convenient and already blanched (not raw). They won't starve because mid afternoon remove veggies and give them their regular food. Leave in cage up until you go to bed and remove once again and repeat daily. Be persistent, mine took 3 days.

@VooDooDollyAngel No. Leafy greens like kale, collards, dandelion leaves, grass, and wheat I clip to the cage bars raw, but non leafy veggies are more pallatble blanched/cooked in my experience.
