Can budgies eat lentils?

Yes, budgies can eat lentils in small amounts. Purdue calls legumes such as beans, peas and lentils excellent protein sources for parrots and budgies. Its recipe mixes cooked beans with rice and vegetables to serve with pellets.

How to serve it: cooked and unseasoned, just a little

Good to know: Purdue refers to cooked beans. We found no bird source on raw legumes, and our other budgie sources don’t mention lentils.
