Yes, that's what budgies eat, seeds.
You are soposed to give cockatiels grit so that they can digest their food better. All you have to do is by a container at the pet store and sprinkle a littl ebit on your cockatiel's food. Better to give them a separate container.
Seeds form the basis of a cockatiel's diet. Cockatiels are parrots, and parrots have strong, curved beaks to enable them to crack seeds and nuts, their favourite foods.
No. They are seed eaters, can have some greens or fruit.
Many birds are able to crack seeds with their bills. The sparrow, finch, grosbeak and cardinal crack seeds with their bills.
Some common seeds names are sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and quinoa seeds.
Budgies are simple to take care of but read these hints and instructions very carefully: 1. Give your budgie a safe and large enough cage. 2. Give your budgie plenty of fun toys. Replace the toys regularly so your budgie doesn't get bored. Leave your budgie's favorite toy inside. 3. Give your budgie check-ups at the vet at least once a month. 4. Feel your budgie's breastbone (or wishbone) everyday to make sure your budgie isn't fat. You cannot feel the breastbone if your budgie is fat. 5. Give your budgie high-quality food. 6. Replace your budgie's water EVERYDAY! 7. Clean your budgie's cage every week. 8. Have your budgie stay outside the cage WITH YOUR SUPERVISION! 9. Feel your budgie's food (or look) for seeds that have not been eaten or it will starve. 10. Enjoy the budgie!

Cockatiels eat sunflower seeds because they are the tastiest seeds for them. Seeds are a treat and should be given to cockatiels in moderation, along with plenty of vegetables. It is easy to understand that cockatiels would eat only sunflower seeds because if you got the choice to eat chocolate or vegetables, which one would you pick? Probably the treat, chocolate. Cockatiels would also pick the treat, sunflower seeds. Be careful because too many seeds can cause obesity. Try to add vegetables to your cockatiel's diet.
