Most budgies will do fine with about 10 grams, or 2 teaspoons, of a pelleted diet daily. This is in addition to a small amount of a fortified seed mix and fresh fruits and vegetables. Monitor Yuki's weight and droppings regularly. If she develops loose droppings or loses more than 10% of her body weight, have her examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet and review her diet.
