5 FAQs
What is the best daily diet for Plum Headed Parakeets?
A balanced diet includes:
- A base of pellets and high-quality seed mix
- Fresh vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, carrots, broccoli)
- Occasional fruits and sprouted grains
- A calcium source like cuttlebone or mineral block
Are seed-only diets recommended?
Not on their own. Seed-only diets are often low in calcium and vitamin A and high in fat. They should be balanced with pellets, sprouting food, and fresh produce.
How do I switch my parakeet from seeds to pellets?
Start by mixing a small amount of pellets with seeds, increasing gradually over 1–2 weeks. Offer pellets in the morning when your bird is most hungry, and monitor acceptance.
Are soft and soaking foods good for Plum Heads?
Yes—soaking pulses or quick sprouting mixes offer additional nutrients, encourage foraging, and are excellent during moulting or for birds recovering from stress.
How often should I feed fresh food alongside pellets or seeds?
Offer fresh vegetables daily and fruit 2–3 times per week. Always remove uneaten fresh food after a few hours to maintain hygiene.
