More Fun Than You Can Shake a Seed Stick At.

There's a whole lot of shaking going on in the Budgie Buddies exhibit! Take a summer stroll through our indoor aviary surrounded by more than 100 free-flight Australian birds - budgies, finches, cockatiels, rosellas, and princess parrots. Give your seed stick a shake, and a bird or two may even land on your arm or shoulder to have a nibble. Or, try out the new Zoo Grass! The budgies are lovin' this organic homegrown wheatgrass. You could even take some Zoo Grass home for your own pets!

Budgie Feeding Options

Seed sticks are available year-round.

Zoo Grass is available for purchase seasonally during the summer months at Budgies! It's a great way to interact with your animals (birds, cats, dogs and reptiles) at home using organic, non-toxic, conservation-minded fun! Even the container is 100% biodegradable made from straw and cocoa fibers. (So, please complete the cycle and dispose of the container in an earth-friendly way! You can compost it or simply bury it in your yard, where it will enrich your existing garden soil.) Shipping is not available for Zoo Grass as it is a perishable product. Proceeds from Zoo Grass help support CMZoo Horticulture.
