Sprouts are very good for them, they are full of proteins,vitamins and minerals and I am sure they have antioxidants in them, so yer give them to your budgies, mine like them too xx

Thats brilliant, your budgie will be very healthy if he is eating them, the antioxidants can help stop heart disease and cancer, Spinach is the same xx

A good way to get them to try new things is to take there food out at night and in the morning put the new food in it's place. if they don't eat it after awhile take it out and put in there regular food. do this every morning for a few days and they will try it.

Wow I never really thought of that! Most people just leave it in their food dish but the birds are smart enough to go around the food and into the seed!
