  For the health of the birds egg yolk is beneficial, since it contains many proteins. Boiled hard and crushed with a fork, you can mix it with the sprouted grains and serve it to your birds. They also like to nibble egg if you give it to them as a whole, but some budgies need a while to accept this unusual food. Most birds don't like dry yolk, so one should always serve it fresh and remove it after about two hours.

Especially in summer it is important to ensure the cleanliness of the food. Yolk goes to waste quickly during the warm season, and it can cause serious health problems like diarrhea or vomiting! The greatest danger is an infection with salmonellae that cannot only occur in a flock of budgies. Humans are also in danger of infecting themselves if eggs are not properly stored and prepared incorrectly.
