Cage bird treats
Bird treats for caged birds are mostly seed, millet and honey-based, made to hang, clip or peck at rather than be eaten from a dish, and fed alongside a normal seed or pellet diet rather than instead of it. We stock treats sized for everything from a canary to a full-size parrot.
Treats for smaller birds
Johnson's Canary Seed Bells and Johnson's Budgie Seed Bells are both honey seed bells made to hang and be pecked at, sized for canaries and budgies respectively rather than being interchangeable between species. Vitakraft Millet Spray and Vitakraft Millet Spray Prepacked are single-ingredient millet treats suitable for budgies, canaries, finches and a wide range of small cage and aviary birds, and Vitakraft Canary Stick Fruit and Vitakraft Canary Stick Egg are baked treat sticks made specifically for canaries.
Johnson's Budgie Fruit & Honey Bell offers a variety alternative to the plain seed bell, which is worth having if your bird has already worked through the same treat for a while and could use some variety rather than the same thing every time.
Treats for larger birds
Johnson's Cockatiel/Parrot Fruity Stick and Johnson's Cockatiel/Parrot Nut & Honey Bell are sized for bigger birds like cockatiels and parrots rather than the smaller canary and budgie treats. Vitakraft Australian Cockatiel Stick Honey and Vitakraft Lovebird Kracker Honey both use a cage-clipped stick format, and Vitakraft Kracker Feather Care for Cockatiels & Parrots is aimed specifically at birds going through a moult.
Johnson's Parrot Bumper Bell is a larger seed and honey bell scaled up for parrots, which is worth choosing over a smaller bird's treat if you want something that lasts longer for a bigger bird working through it.

Common questions
- Can I give my canary a treat made for parrots?
- It is better to choose a treat sized for your bird's species — a parrot treat like the Parrot Bumper Bell is scaled up for a much bigger bird, while a canary is better suited to a smaller treat such as the Johnson's Canary Seed Bells or Canary Stick range.
- How often should I give my bird treats?
- Treats should stay a small addition to a normal seed or pellet diet rather than a regular replacement for it, so a treat every few days rather than every day is a reasonable approach for most cage birds.
- What is a 'kracker' treat for birds?
- It is a cage-clipped treat stick, generally seed or honey based, designed to hang in the cage for the bird to work at over time rather than being eaten in one go — the Vitakraft Kracker range covers several bird sizes in this format.
- Are moulting birds treated differently?
- Some treats, like Vitakraft Kracker Feather Care for Cockatiels & Parrots, are specifically aimed at birds going through a moult, though a bird that seems generally unwell during a moult rather than simply moulting is worth checking with an avian-experienced vet.
