Cup Parakeet
My parakeets are afraid to eat fruits and veggies.?

I have two parakeets (a male and a female). Sky(female) won’t go near or touch them when i put them in a cup in the cage. Lou(male) won’t either. They need a better diet besides there seed, millet spray, and a bird treat. Is there anyway they will eat them? thanks.
P.S I try to give them strawberries and banners.
Bananas** instead of banners

Keep introducing them to fruits and veggies, also try giving them 30 minutes before dinner time. It may help if they see you eating them.

Before you feed them breakfast or dinner-offer them fruits and veggies, take them out after 1/2 hour and offer their regular food-take their regular food out after an hour or so. Hopefully they’ll get hungry at dinnertime and take the fruits and veggies that you offer before dinner.

You might also want to try spinach or romaine lettuce first-it looks somewhat like grass, and they may try it.

Pet Products For Birdies At Home

There are so many pet products for birds offered that some people might not realize that there is a difference in the foods that are fed to the various breeds of birds that can be brought into the home. Some of these pet products for birds will come in the seeds sold in bags, and then the pet owner could purchase other seeds that are considered a dessert for birds and it could be shaped as a bell.

The various bird breeds that are covered in the seed category of pet products for bids are parakeets, cockatiels and the tropical blends that are suitable for eating by both parrots and cockatoo bird breeds. Some pet owners use bird pet products to provide additional nutrients through their water supply. There are vitamin drops that are suitable for all breeds and others that specialize in helping birds during their molting periods.

Some pet products are centered on taking care of the nails of large and small birds. There are some clippers that are perfectly suited to cut the nails of small birds like parakeets. If the nail of a bird is not cut properly it might cause the bird to perish due to blood loss so bird owners have to be very careful in cutting the nail at the right depth. There are nail products for birds that will stop the flow of blood.

Many birds love the water and there are many pet products for this purpose. Some of the more decorative bird baths are best suited for larger birds because they are perfectly suited to handle the additional weight found on larger birds. These bird baths can be anchored inside the cage, or placed in a controlled area of the house that is free from other pets such as cats and dogs.

There are pet products for birds that will help to keep their beaks in good condition. Items such as beak conditioners and mineral treats ensure that the bird has what is necessary to keep their beaks trim and conditioned enough so that they will not break off and cause harm to the bird. Many of these pet products for birds are flavored which make them more enjoyable.

There are various feeders that can be placed inside the cage for birds that are kept at home. These feeders can be cups that fit inside doors that are built into the side of cages, and there are other pet feeders that can be hung high in the cage to give the animal exercise. This will also help in keeping the bird from becoming bored with their living environment.

Parakeet help?

I have three parakeets and they barely eat their food in their food cup.But when I give them the millet spray treat,they all come and eat it.Now thats mostly I give them and I’m afraid that they’re going to get fat.What should I do?

Well, are you feeding them what they ate at the pet store? They may be refusing the food because they don’t recognize it and they recognize the millet, so they eat it. Get some seeds for them (bad, I know, just wait) and let them eat that for a few days. Then mix in 1/4 of the new food to 3/4 seeds for a few days, then half and half for a few, etc until they are eating their food. No, parakeets usually don’t get fat, but on a seed diet, they get fatty liver disease, so don’t let them eat seed foods very often or for long periods of time.

Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
