It all depends on the type and mix of bird feed in the feeder. If it's Wild Bird feed in general, it's OK for a parakeet yet it is not wise for it to be the entire parakeet diet. A healthy diet for a parakeet consists of seeds, pellets, fruits, and vegetables. Reference Link: http://www.petbudgie.com/feeding/
