Can budgies eat popcorn?

Only a little

Yes, but only a little: budgies can eat popcorn. Purdue lists popcorn with no salt and no butter as an enrichment food, and says salted foods should never be offered.

How to serve it: no salt, sugar or butter, one piece

Good to know: None of our budgie-specific sources mentions popcorn.
