Is it normal that a parakeet eats newspaper on the bottom of their cage i give them bird ssed every day too.and they still eat it.i dont know if they are trying to make a nest.please help?

many birds like to have sand or gravel to "eat" it stayes in the gizzard and helps to digest their food. Your parakeet may be looking for some rocks on the ground. Try getting some gravel & grit at a pet store and spread a very thin layer in his cage. It may not stop him from tearing up the newspaper, but that could be why he is doing it. Or he could just be bored and doing it for fun. one time my bird did that, he had a seizure and died. :(

What nuts can parakeets eat?

Your pet parakeet thrives quite nicely on a properly balanced diet of fruits, vegetables pellets and seeds. However, every so often that birdie boy of yours feels like a nut. When he does, shell out a nutty treat from this nutritious list of parakeet favorites.

The Almond

The almond is one of the most nutritionally dense nuts available. Rich in vitamin E, minerals and antioxidants, the noble almond is loaded with more protein than eggs and scores relatively low in saturated fat content. You'll need to crack the shell of this nut slightly for your feathered friend, and then stand back as your boy starts digging out the nutritious nut meat hidden inside.

The Pistachio

This nut is as fun for your bird to eat as it is for you to say. The task of removing this nutritious, delicately-flavored nut from its shell will keep your busy boy occupied for hours on end. High in antioxidants, protein, carbohydrates and fiber, and low in calories, pistachios in moderate rations will help to keep your fine feathered friend lean, healthy and happy.

The Walnut

Loaded with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and omega 3 fatty acids, the walnut is a healthy treat your parakeet will be wild about. This is a tough nut to crack, so shell and chop up the walnut for your bird before serving. However, bird friend beware, this tasty, high-energy seed of the walnut tree contains some crazy calories, so easy does it on the portions.

The Pecan

Another tough nut to crack, the pecan must be opened and diced before your bird can enjoy it. Naturally low in sodium, high in protein and unsaturated fats, the pecan has no cholesterol, and is a good source of nutrients, like calcium, iron and magnesium. This nutty treat also is a good source of oleic acid, a fatty acid that can help to keep your parakeet pal's skin and feathers healthy and vibrant.

Why do your budgies preen each other?

They preen each other because they have deep affection for one another, or they're just really good friends and want to help each other out by preening " that hard spot".
