Question
How much Parsely should you feed a parakeet? And also, can you hang it in the cage, or do you have to grind it?

Answer
Dear Cindy,
thank you for your question.
You can just hand the parsley into the cage, the parakeets will nibble it. If you mist the parsley with a water bottle or put it into a shallow bowl of water, the parakeets may bathe in it.
For each paraket, I'd offer two stalks of parsley.
If you are interested, you can find a lot more food suggestions for parakeets on this website:

I hope I was of some help to you
