Johnston & Jeff Budgie Tonic Type 22 — Protein Support for Budgerigars

Johnston & Jeff Budgerigar Tonic Type 22 is a protein-based compound feedstuff specially formulated to support budgerigars during periods of high stress. Nesting, moulting, and recovery from illness all place extra demands on a bird's body — and this blend is designed to help birds maintain and regain condition when they need it most.

Budgie Tonic should be fed as part of a wider feeding regime. For companion birds kept in the house, it should not exceed 15% of the total diet. For aviary or breeding birds, this can be increased to up to 25% as required.

Suitable for companion, aviary and breeding budgerigars
Feed at up to 15% of diet for pet birds, up to 25% for aviary and breeding birds
12.75kg bag — ideal for aviaries and multi-bird households

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Budgie Tonic Type 22 and when should I use it?

Budgie Tonic Type 22 is a protein-based seed blend designed to support budgerigars during periods of high stress — particularly nesting, moulting, and recovery. It provides the extra protein budgies need to maintain and regain condition at these demanding times.

How much Budgie Tonic should I feed?

For companion birds kept in the house, Budgie Tonic should not exceed 15% of the total diet. For aviary or breeding birds, this can be increased to up to 25% as required. It should always be fed as part of a wider feeding regime, not as a sole food source.

Why does Budgie Tonic contain a high proportion of Japanese millet?

Japanese millet provides the right type and concentration of proteins for fledglings in the nest. It is particularly valuable during the breeding season when chicks are developing and need high-quality protein to grow and thrive.

Is Budgie Tonic suitable for breeding birds?

Yes — it is particularly well suited to breeding birds and can be increased to 25% of the diet during the breeding season. The high Japanese millet content makes it especially beneficial when chicks are in the nest.

Can I feed Budgie Tonic all year round?

You can, but it is most beneficial during periods of stress such as moulting, nesting, and recovery. During quieter periods, keep it to no more than 15% of the diet for pet birds and supplement with a quality budgerigar staple mix.
