We’ve had one parakeet now for a few years and we feed it a bird seed and millet spray (millet only on occasion). I know some people feed fruits and other things though so I’m just wondering if this diet is actually harmful or just not as healthy perhaps?
We had two parakeets before this and they only lived maybe 2-3 years, and I’m wondering why. My dad decided to get another one yesterday and so we have two more and I don’t want to see it happen again. Unless that is normal they only live that long?
Also about their cage condition they have food and water changed once a day, toys, mirror, food treat, and some stone thing they sharpen beak on. Is that all they need?
I’m not looking to be obsessive about their health I just want to see if there is anything we are doing that is actually harmful or will make them live shorter lives.
Also should it be ok to put the two birds together in same cage? One we had few years is male and I think the new one is female.
my parakeets does not want to eat any fruits and vegetables that i gave ( apples or mangoes ). they only eat bird seed and sunflower seed. so how can i accustom the birds in eating such foods.

In one of the opening scenes in the latest Rocky movie, our hero pours out a box of gumdrops together with something I think is bird seed outside his window. Is Rocky just stupid or do you feed birds with candy in the US?
The people behind me threw them into the woods, I’m assuming they got tired of them. I feel badly for them and they are now starting to get into my fenced in yard to eat bird seed under the feeder. Problem is I have 2 dogs who don’t like them at all. They’ve made a home in a brush pile and have been there for 2 weeks so it doesn’t look like they’re going anywhere. Any help on what to do for these poor little guys would be appreciated! Thanks

I supplement her diet with nuts, vegetables and fruit (lettuce, celery, grapes, apples) and even some cat food since I’ve read that hamsters are NOT vegetarians. Is all this enough or do I absolutely have to buy hamster food?
