Treat Your Bird
Our birds bring us so much happiness, and they deserve a reward. There are many healthy treats which our birds love and that are healthy for them too. Here are just a few of these.
Millet
Birds absolutly adore millet sprays. You can buy packs of millet in most pet shops.
Eucalyptus
Budgies and cockatiels have access to eucalyptus in their home habitat of Australia. It helps them in many ways. Eucalyptus is loved by birds, they love to chew and eat it, use parts of the eucalyptus as bedding, and it is excellent for the bird's health. Other advantages of eucalyptus plants are that they keep away mites and flies. Keep the eucalyptus fresh though.
Egg food
Egg food is extremely helpful for a laying hen, and is easy to make at home. It is just a mix of crushed boiled egg, grated carrot and breadcrumbs.

Bird Grass
This one is loved by birds, and is easy to do. Simply bury some aviary seed in a tray of compost, and water it each day. After a couple of weeks you will start seeing your bird grass growing and once it is quite long place the tray in for your birds to enjoy. Another thing you can try is planting some crumbled millet.
