Answer 1

My Cockatiel loves spaghetti thats his favorite. Also he likes toast, corn bread muffins,they can have a small amount of block cheese as a treat.

It took me awhile to get mine to try it. Just keep offering it and he will eventualy eat it.

Answer 2

a slice of apple seems to be the most common form of treat a parrot type bird enjoys, but most type of fruit can be tried .but i would never give any type of bread

Answer 3

Recipes that my cockatiels Absolutely love? Let me see

For Breakfast, I usually make my usual. Scrambles eggs and toast. I always make a little platter for my cockatiels and they eat them up as if they haven't ate in days!

In the afternoons and what not, I sometimes let them slip a few noodles or spaghetti strands here and there for them.

Cockatiels absolutely ADORE rice.

There also are these Avian Microwavables made for them too. They're called Kaytee Kitchen Creations and you can cook them on your stove top or microwave. Or Gourmet Bird Food By Beak Appetite. Which all can be found at your local Petsmart :]

Other than that if you want to know a EXTREMELY Healthy daily diet for your cockatiel you should try getting them Zupreem™ Avian Entrees. Bird talk rated them the #1 best Bird food series. They're packed with nutrition and my cockatiels love it xD

And Yes, cockatiels can eat grains. It actually is very healthy for them

Answer 4

do not give it bread its real doughy and might make them choke!!! do give it food from the bags??? try giving it sunflower seeds,watermelon, corn,etc. fruit vegtables

Answer 5

Okay, your cockatiel probably is waiting for you to give it what it likes.  You should avoid giving your bird bread and bread products because this can get stuck in their crop (which is the equivelent of our throat).  What your bird will appreciate is: cooked carrots, peas, corn, little pieces of cooked chicken, egg, broccoli, and small pieces of an orange. Good luck with your cockatiel. I hope this helps.

Answer 6

Well my cocktails like to eat bread and anything made out of corn.
