Question
QUESTION: hi!
my parakeets eat just too much! they are beginning to be really fat! do you have any way to make them not eat so much? or is it just normal?
ANSWER: Hey Katelyn,
Well first of all I hope you are letting your budgies out every day for at least half an hour, and also, you can offer then a finch diet food. This may help. Thanks for posting!

QUESTION: well... actually i didnt train them so i really dont take them out. finch diet food? but when i bought the packet of bird seed it said that it was egg-citriel diet.does that really help?
It doesn't really matter who trains them, it's very important that they should go out for half an hour every day. The finch diet will be fine for them, I also like to offer my budgies celery or parsley, by hanging it from the top of the cage with a twist tie or something.
Cheerz,
Riley
