What Does a Lovebird Eat?
Just like Budgerigarsin nature, they are fed with flower and plant seeds, sunflower seeds (unsalted seeds we know), green leafy vegetables and fruits. Packaged food prepared for budgies as ready-made foodis also suitable for your lovebird, but ready-made food alone is not sufficient for feeding. They should be given fresh fruits and vegetables every day to ensure that they receive the vitamin in this way. All fruits are acceptable, but should be offered in small quantities to avoid diarrhea due to their high water content.
