Ten Best Treats To Give To Your Budgie

When your budgie does something good, you’ll want to reward it with something and because you don’t have any reward except a treat or toy, you’ll just stick with treat. Budgies prefer treats, not toys, so, a better reward for them is a treat.

In this article, we’ll dive into the most healthy and tasty treats for budgies.

Millets

Budgies relish millets more than any other treat and may eat them day and night. So, millets can get dangerous if a budgie eats too much of them, but you can manage the amount of millets your budgie eats. For example, you can give your budgie millets if it says a new word, does a new trick, or suddenly begins to enjoy getting petted. These are all actions you must reward with treats and millets are the tastiest. So, they’ll do good during training, especially finger, perch, or towel training and sometimes, after doing wing or nail clipping.

Fruits

Fruits are wholesome and must be part of a budgie’s daily diet, but making special fruits as treats is a very good decision. Strawberries, cherries, watermelon, and honeydew make good treats for budgies, but of course, there are many other fruits that shouldn’t be considered as part of a budgie’s daily diet, but can be given to budgies as treats.

Vegetables

The second wholesome foods that can make good treats for budgies are vegetables. Vegetables should be considered as part of a budgie’s daily diet, but some special vegetables might make wholesome treats for budgies. For example, cucumbers, carrots, and lettuce should be considered as part of a budgie’s daily diet, but cooked potatoes and yam should be considered as treats.

Corn

Corn can be eaten by budgies both on the cob, as popcorn, or from a bowl.

Your budgie might like munching on corn on the cob like millets on a stick and this is very normal. Most budgies like munching on things that are on sticks. Also, sharing some corn with your budgie while watching a nature documentary is a good reward after your budgie learns a new word or trick, but your budgie must be finger trained.

Oats

Oats are very healthy for both humans and budgies. They also prevent constipation. Budgies don’t only get diarrhea, they can get constipated. Oats make healthy treats for budgies, they’re even used in most of the budgie cake and cookie recipes because they’re very healthy and tasty. Most budgies like oats and cry for them.

Boiled Or Scrambled Eggs

Boiled or scrambled eggs are perfect treats for budgies who like trying new foods. Boiled (or scrambled) eggs will do you good during training, especially hand training, but don’t use fried eggs as treats because fried eggs can be dangerous.

Cooked Rice

Cooked rice may seem plain and boring for people who eat rice daily, but to budgies, rice is something new and tasty. Just like humans, budgies can’t eat uncooked rice even if you powderize it. So, you must always give your budgie cooked rice only as the other types may be harmful. Of course, your budgie won’t like uncooked rice, but it’ll certainly love cooked rice.

Cooked rice will make a perfect treat for your budgie.

Cooked Beans

After cooked rice, there are cooked beans, one of the tastiest treats for budgies. Budgies must always eat cooked beans, not uncooked beans. So, you must be careful when giving your budgie beans because it must have them cooked. It’s not recommend to give uncooked beans to your budgie as they may cause serious health problems to your feathered friend.

Cooked Lentils

After cooked beans, there are cooked lentils. Budgies must always eat cooked lentils, not uncooked lentils. So, you must be careful when giving your budgie lentils because it must have them cooked. It’s not recommended to give uncooked lentils to your budgie as they may cause serious health problems to your feathered friend.
