What can I feed my budgies if I run out of seeds?

Don’t be holier than thou on this thread please. Offer advice on food or obtaining food or don’t post.

Don’t know if this is an option, but any farms in your area that might have chickens, where you might ask for a bit of grain? Not sure if how good the grain would be as I know it’s different but it is seed based and only for a few days to supplement all the other great suggestions offered....

sorry you are in a predicament..

can anyone give you samples of feed

Could you ask a local church for help? I know our church would, but we are in the US.

Chicken grain on farms, depending on where you live could be soya and bone based these days, and pumped full of steroids. Best to avoid.

My mom is currently really poor and can't afford seeds for 14 days, im almost ran out and I don't know what to do. What can I feed them???

Edit:they don't eat alot of veggies, but they eat chopped carrots and cucumbers

Give them cooked rice, cooked corn, cooked peas, carrots & cucumbers. They may be malnutritioned if they’re only on a seed diet. I’m sorry your mom can’t afford their food but if you have some of the foods I mentioned please try giving them some. If they don’t eat them at first, keep trying. When they’re hungry enough they’ll eat.

@fancydance How are you getting on? Did you manage to find a solution? I hope you´re doing ok

Sometimes when you write in to pet food companies like Lafeber, they'll send you free samples of their food so that your birds can try it! If you can get a couple samples from a few retailers, you can probably stretch them out to last a bit. I hope things get more stable for you soon!
