What are some of your Parakeet's favorite fruit and toys?

I have 2 female budgies, 1 of them called Sky. she loves to eat eggs as a Treat. and her favorite toy is the balls with bells inside

boiled eggs right? I have heard that you only give them the yolk, can you give them the whole thing?

i dont do my own eggs i feed for the sake of egg mix abba or Petamine

Other than sweet treats of millet, which is a rare treat in this house, Chippy likes beet leaves and celery leaves.

He has his balls with bells and pretend birds, but his real fave is Pinky, his pink/yellow weighted bottomed penguin. Pinky is on wheels so I used tiny cable ties to attach him to Chippy's drawbridge door. This way they can play and talk no matter if the door is open or closed.

i never do millet...as its no secret how i feel about millet sprays lol

My guys like finely chopped carrots, and they LOVE the occasional corn or peas on top.
They both love those plastic cat jingle balls.
Levi's fav toy is his ring swing,that he uhh gets jiggy with LOL and has long conversations with...and Ziggy's fav is a treat cup that has a windmill type thing on it with little mirrors that spin too. He reeeealy gets it spinning sometimes and it's one of his fav spots to hang out even if there are no treats or food in it.

I save the plastic screw-on tops to orange juice cartons & wash them for Jeffie. She loves to dunk them in her food cup like basketball. She also enjoys the lids to those tiny disposable "Gladware" bowls.

Jeff eats broccoli & the peas inside snow pods. However, if she had her budgie way, she would feast on fresh corn on corn or green pepper & organic shredded wheat cereal. Those are only very occasional indulgences though, like Christmas cookies for my kids.

my birds for some reason like to bring the swing down more than swinging in it! its a challenge for them. i tie it up with a piece of rope and then they work for days to tear that rope, and when theyre done, we do it again sometimes they perch on it. their favorite thing is to tear things with their beak they like to gnaw on wood and their favorite treat is millet.

Why dont you like millet?
