Is equine pellet bedding safe for baby birds

Question

im handfeeding two baby afican gray parrots and i caught them eating the pine bedding and someone said to use equine pellete bedding

Answer 1

Petsmart in Renton wa. use pellets

Answer 2

It should be dust free. Most horse bedding is not dust free.

Answer 3

There are types of hamster/gerbil bedding you can use. I have horses, and we use the pellet bedding it is pretty dusty if not watered down ALOT. It is fine for the horses but with baby birds being so delicate I wouldn't risk it. I know the bedding I have for me hamster says "relatively dust free" and it also says safe for birds, rabbits, gerbils, etc.

hope that helped...and I hope you have any easier time than me with rasing baby birds lol

**this isn't what I use but it says it is safe for hand fed baby birds :)
