My budgie only eats seeds. Can he be healthy without fresh produce?

Question

Can my budgie survive only on seeds? He don't eat veggies and fruits. Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male | unneutered

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

He can survive but an all seed diet is not good for them. They get fatty liver and some other nutritional problems. Just keep trying to give him other foods. If you offer him less seeds he may start to get more interested in other foods. Try fruits like melon, kiwi, apples, pears, oranges, and grapes. Leafy greens like kale, spinach, parsley and cabbage. Other vegetables he might enjoy include carrots and celery.
