Why Balanced Parakeet Nutrition Matters
Parakeets need a mix of seeds, grains, pellets, fruits, greens, and supplements to maintain:
- Strong feathers and vibrant colours
- Proper immunity
- Good digestion
- Healthy bone development
- Mental stimulation and activity
A high-quality food mix ensures they receive essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and natural oils for optimal well-being.

Feeding Guide for Parakeets in the UAE Climate
Because the UAE has warmer conditions, hydration and balanced nutrition are essential.
- Provide fresh food twice a day.
- Wash leafy greens thoroughly to reduce bacteria.
- Always keep fresh water available.
- Avoid avocado, chocolate, onion, garlic, caffeine, and salty foods—they are toxic to birds.
