- NO apple seeds, sugary/salty/fattening 'greasy' foods, no red meat. -ok occasional foods - whole wheat pasta, hard boiled egg, small bits of cooked chicken. -Broccoli, sweet potato (cooked) and red peppers are very good treats to feed. My parrots love apples, carrot / broccoli chunks, celery, berries, lots of good stuff. When in doubt, leave it out! They can't have unhealthy food or they will get sick a lot faster than a person would from eating a burger or fries. Birds can't eat that kind of junk . :o -

Grit is bad for parrots and parakeets! Birds, like chickens, need grit because they eat seeds whole, but parrots hull their seeds so they don't need grit. Grit hurts their stomachs and can make them sick if they eat a lot.

Dairy products - Birds do not have the enzyme to digest the lactose in dairy products. Avocados and cherries - These are poisonous. Meat - Parrots are not carnivores, with the exception of the Kea- it is insectivorous. Sand and grit - Parrots take the husk off the seed. Only pheasants, doves and pigeons, because they do not hull seeds.

Parrots love to hunt for food. Don't make meals boring for them. Pellets may be nutritionally complete, but they don't give them the fun of cracking open seeds. Stick treats inside paper cups strung on a rope. They love destroying the containers.

As a special treat, make a "food toy" for your parrot. Wrap peanuts in paper towels and stuff them inside an empty toilet paper roll. Your parrot will have fun ripping up the paper to find the treat inside.

Use cornbread mix. Follow the instructions, then add whatever fresh/frozen veggies you have, egg with shell, shredded sweet potato, and any fruit. Bake in a pan as directed, cut into squares and freeze. Heat up individually in microwave.

I have had 3 African Grey parrots and a Cockatiel for many years. I feed them Nutri-Berries plus mixed seeds. They also get small amounts of many different "people foods" every day. Some of their favorites are thawed frozen stir-fry vegetables, corn on the cob, cheddar cheese cubes, cottage cheese (large curd), all types of cooked beans, scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, dry dog food, unshelled (no salt) nuts, almost all fresh fruits, pasta, etc. I never feed them chocolate (or any candy), spinach, avocado, grit, or eggshell. In 18 years, I have never had a sick bird. I use red or green grapes as special rewards & treats.
