The short answer

Yes — pumpkin is safe, and the seeds are a bonus.

Why

Pumpkin flesh is rich in vitamin A, and the seeds are safe too — many budgies love them, though they're a little fatty. Cook the flesh until soft.

How to feed it

Offer cooked, cooled flesh, or a few raw or dried pumpkin seeds as a treat.

How much & how often

A small serving a few times a week.
