What human food CAN parrots eat?

Question

Im getting a Blue&Yellow Macaw, but I want to know what human food it CAN eat.

Answer 1

Lots of stuff. Most definitely lots of fruits and veggies. NO AVOCADOS! I've been told many times they are toxic. My conure loves apples, but try oranges, melons, pineapple, berries. Raw and cooked veggies too. They have their own taste and so (like kids) won't eat certain veggies/fruits. Other goodies my conure enjoys is wheat bread (or toast w/ jelly. yum!) pasta (wheat is better) in any form, peanut butter, non sugar cereals w/ a little milk, cheese. You mainly want to keep them on fresh fruit, veggies, beans and of course plenty of seed in a wide variety as that's their staple. Any food that is proessed and or uses preservatives, flavorings, colorings, etc can be given occasionally and I stress occasionally. As a treat. So, for example, if I'm shredding cheese, I'll give him a small chunk. Just enough for a few bites. If I'm making pancakes, I'll make a small one for him and sometimes put some jelly on it. They can eat most human foods so it's easier to tell you what they CAN'T eat. No avocados, solid chocolate and apple seeds. Avoid greasy foods too, like french fries and avoid a lot of salt and not a lot of milk. If you need more info, call the friendly folks at Omars Exotic Birds. Very nice people and definitely the experts.

i feed my cockatoo everything i put on my plate.....she eats dinner with me lol    dont give it alvacadoes fish or chocolate.... u can give white chocolate because it has no coco which is toxic........other than that they eat everything my bird LOVES pizza

Answer 3

everything but avacodo's, milk, soda, alchol, sugar(stuff with sugar like cereal) and salt. also make sure the food is cool before feeding.

other than those things they can eat everything, they love crust off pizza, pasta(no salt or sauce) just drained.  all fruits and veggies but avacodo. cooked rice, chicken, meat, eggs, pretty much anything.

just rmbr the food must be cool so you dont burn it and make sure if you are putting food in the cage dont leave it in more than an hour because it will go bad and make your birdi sick

hope i helped.
