Instructions
Add two parts millet to your bowl. Millet is a high-carbohydrate seed that is low in fat, making it suitable for small birds.
Add 1/2 part unsalted sunflower seeds. These seeds are high in fat, so use them sparingly. Most parakeets, however, love the taste.
Add one part canary seeds. Like millet, canary seeds are high in carbohydrates.
Add one part oats groats. Oat groats have been processed to remove the hull, making it easier for your parakeet to access the nutritious inside.
Add one part hemp. Many commercial parakeet seed mixes contain this nutritious seed.
Mix the contents together and store the seed mix in an airtight container.
