What human food can i feed my cockatiel?

Question

put down all u can

Answer 1

Veggies and a bit of fruit. Rice and noodles are ok (my guys love it!)

    Mainly I add rice, noodles, peas, air-popped popcorn ,beans, scrambled eggs (kind of gross for a bird to eat, but great protien and calcium levels) carrots, and broccolli (all cooked).

  Make sure you don't add salt or seasonings to them- it can overload their system pretty easy.

    You can also feed them not so healthy foods, but it isn't recommended. Mine got into my pizza and went nuts whenever they saw pizza after that because they wanted it so bad.

  The only really bad things: avocados, chocolate.

Some people say occasional grapes, raisins or peanuts are bad, however I have fed them with no problems to many species of birds.

Answer 2

Mine loves to head the tops off broccoli. (:

We give him crackers sometimes too.

Answer 3

lettuce

Answer 4

It would be easier to list what food you can NOT feed birds.  Off the top, chocolate, anything with caffeine, avacado, etc.

http://www.landofvos.com/eclectus.html

These 2  sites should help.  Also, look up safe plants for birds, and remember, no cleaning products, air fresheners, candles, incence, cologne, smoke, and no non-stick cookware.  (The second site has recipes)  Yes, you must cook for your bird...birdie breads, beans and rice, pasta, etc.  I have no kids and don't bring my grandkids here often, but I cook and clean everyday like I had a dozen kids.  Also, only give romaine lettuc, no spinach but can give kale and collard, and fresh fruits. Apples, cherries, peaches, banana, pear, grapes, etc.

Answer 5

pretty much anything you can find in the wild (not chips or cookies) stuff like berrys, fruit, veggies, nuts.

DONT guive your bird avocado, apple seeds, chocolait, large amounts of sugar, fat or salt, rubarb is not good, aswell as cafine, and energy drinks. use common sence. whole wheat rice and pasta is good. search the internet for more bird cooking ideas.
