What should my pregnant parakeet eat? Is a seed-only diet safe?

Question

I'm a little worried about my female parakeet, she's very active and hyper and I feel like she's wasting her energy. All she's eating is seeds and I'm afraid to give her any vegetables or fruits because I'm scared it might effect her pregnancy. Are there any specific foods that pregnant parakeets require? If so, what are they? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 0.07 lbs

For a complete and balanced diet for your parakeet she needs to eat more than just seeds. I would recommend giving her a high quality pelleted food (like Harrison's or Zupreme) and then supplementing with fresh fruits and veggies. Seeds should be given rarely and only in small amounts. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.
