Health & WellnessMy budgie is sick and tired. How to care for her at home, no vet?
If you think she is losing weight and malnourished then you should re-evaluate her diet. Birds do not do well on an all seed diet so, if seeds are the majority of her diet you need to change that. I suggest using Lafeber's foods. Pellets, Nutriberries, Avicakes.

Lafeber also has excellent articles on their website regarding health, nutrition, training, how to switch diets properly, etc.

Lafeber diets are perfectly balanced for birds but since she is under the weather now I would add in this multivitamin and a probiotic.
