Can budgies eat rose hips?

Yes, but only a little: budgies can eat rose hips. Germany’s Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare (TVT) lists rose hips as fruit for budgies. So do the German Animal Welfare Federation and the Swiss animal welfare society (STS).

How to serve it: ripe and unsprayed

Good to know: The German Animal Welfare Federation says to offer fruit only in small amounts because of its sugar, and RSPCA Australia calls fruit a treat. Germany’s Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare (TVT), on the other hand, lists fruit as part of the daily diet, so we err on the side of caution.
