In their Australian home, wild budgies feed on the seeds and grains of different grasses.
To offer budgies a more natural daily diet, is recommended to feed them
Orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata).
The spears reach a height of up to 120 cm (approx. 3-4 ft), which makes orchard grass
easy to find in nature. It flowers from May to June, ripe seeds can be found from June
to August. My budgies prefer flowering orchard grass or panicles with ripe seeds. Half
ripe orchard grass is not very popular.
