Author: MissDolittle

Avocados, chocolate, apple seeds or apple cores, the flesh of a fruit that has a bleeding pit like some peaches, plums, and apricots.

Pet DoveDo not feed alcoholic beverages, nicotine, or drugs.

Do not feed any salt, salty seeds, nuts, or chips, salty canned vegetables or salty frozen vegetables. Many frozen vegetables, such as corn, are available unsalted. Rinse all frozen foods thoroughly and bring to room temperature before feeding.

If fed a well balanced diet, including pellets, most pet birds do not need any additional food supplements or vitamins. An overabundance of vitamins can be highly toxic to your bird. It is advisable to consult your avian vet before adding any supplements or vitamins to your bird’s food.
