Care Notes

Common Feeding Mistakes
The most common mistake is feeding only seed. Seed-only diets are high in fat and lead to obesity and fatty liver disease, the biggest killers of pet budgies. Build the diet on quality pellets and fresh vegetables, with seed as a smaller part. Skip avocado, chocolate, caffeine and salty foods.
Habitat Requirements
Budgies fly horizontally, so choose a cage that is wider than it is tall, the longer the better. Keep bar spacing under about 1.2 cm so a head cannot get stuck, add a few perch widths and some foraging toys, and keep food and water away from under perches.
Handling & Socialisation
Budgies are flock birds and need company, either a mate or plenty of daily interaction from you. Tame them with short, gentle, regular sessions. A lone budgie left alone all day will often pluck or scream, so be its flock or give it a friend.

Meet the founders

An Aussie family brand, built for cleaner bird feeding.

Hi, we are Russell and Peita.

Seed Cube started at home with one very determined Alexandrine. After years of cracked plastic, slipped mounts, and constant clean ups, we realised most feeders were not built to handle real birds or daily use.

We set out to build something we would actually trust.
That same focus on strength, stability, and cleaner feeding now guides how we design feeders for daily cage use.

There are now over 10,000 Seed Cubes in use worldwide. We do not build feeders to be cheap. We build them so feeding feels easier and spaces feel calmer.
