Can budgies eat blueberries?

Yes, in small amounts

Yes, in small amounts. Blueberries are one of the better fruit choices for budgies, offering fiber and flavonoids, but they still contain a fair amount of sugar.

Portion: One or two blueberries, halved or quartered
How often: 2–3 times a week
Sugar: 10 g / 100 g

How to serve it

Rinse the berries well under running water
Cut each berry in half or into quarters
Use fresh berries where possible; thaw frozen ones fully
Remove leftovers within a couple of hours

Why

Risks. Merck also points out that blueberries contain a substantial amount of sugar, so they belong in the treat share of the diet rather than as a staple.

Benefits. The Merck Veterinary Manual notes blueberries contain beneficial fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K and flavonoids, and that most birds accept them readily.
