Hello Alen,
I have a bambu plant and my budgie loves to fly to it and tries to eat its leaves. Is it safe for him? Shoukd i let him do it?
Thank you very much. Love your videos!
No, it’s not safe for your budgie to eat bamboo plant leaves. Although bamboo is not considered toxic to birds, the leaves can be difficult to digest and may cause digestive problems, including crop impaction. Additionally, the leaves may have been treated with pesticides or other chemicals that can be harmful to birds.
It’s best to keep your budgie away from the bamboo plant and provide safe, bird-friendly plants and toys for them to enjoy. You can also offer your budgie a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement their diet and satisfy their desire to nibble on plants.
Thank you for the information Alen! I really appreciate it 🙂
