Protein
Budgerigars need 17% of protein in their diet.
The soybean or soya bean is a species of Legume native to East Asia. The plant is classed as an oilseed rather than a pulse.The Legume seed and foliage have a high protein content. It is an annual plant that has been used in China for 5,000 years as a food and a component of drugs. Soy is a good source of protein because it contains a significant amount of essential amino acids. Soybeans are the primary ingredient in many processed foods,including dairy product substitutes.
Soybeans must be fully cooked before serving to our budgerigars,this would make it ideal for mixing into our eggfood.
