Many budgies love to nibble poppy seeds due to
their good taste. Those tiny seeds contain lots of fat
(45%), so it is advisable to serve only little quantities.
Oily seeds should never make more than 2% of
the daily diet of a small bird like a budgie! Also bear that in
mind if you offer your birds other oily seeds. All together,
poppy seeds and other oily stuff should not be more than 5%
of the total amount. Poppy seeds cannot be stored for long, they
becomes rancid quickly. So it is advisable to buy only a small
quantity from time to time.
