3 Best Cockatiel and Budgie Foods of 2023

The Connoisseur's Criteria

The Brands

Our Cockatiels and Budgies are treasured companions who deserve high quality seeds, fruits and nuts in their diets. However, oftentimes many brands fill their bird feed with artificial preservatives, dyes, colorings and other unnatural additives. We only promote natural and eco-friendly food here at The Smiling Pet. Thats why we have rummaged through stores and shops and can now proudly sing the praises of the below brands. We have ranked them based off their ingredients containing mostly organic, non-GMO or whole food ingredients, as well as their commitment to climate-friendly practices. Keep on smiling...and crooning!
