Food alternatives other than birdseed

The other day, we ran out of birdseed and the pet store is also out of stock! Because of this, the birds did not have a decent meal for a day. We tried feeding them with bread but they would just peck on it and toss it aside.

Hi cessy! What kind of bird do you have? Feeding your pet depends on their breed. If you have love birds, sunflower seed is recommended. You may also feed them with grated hard boiled egg. Hope this helps.

Yes I have lovebirds as a pet. Thanks so much for information chinesegirl. It really helped a lot. I never thought that hard-boiled egg could be a food alternative for birds. Isn’t that cannibalistic?

Hard-boiled egg is also a good source of calcium. I dont think its cannibalistic when you feed them of the same species. Well, its still an egg right?
