Food’s for Birds
April 7, 2008 11:30 am BirdsJust like cats and dogs some foods that you eat could be harmful for birds. You think that birds can eat all sorts of nut but really they should be careful to avoid highly salted nuts like salted peanuts. Other items that have high amounts of salt are also dangerous and harmful to birds too. Things such as chips and salted bacon rinds fit into this category.
Also dangerous are spicy foods. These are things like curried meat and strong sauces. Desiccated coconut is also dangerous to birds too. This swells up inside the birds’ stomachs with fatal results.
Instead ideally pre-packaged foods from a petstore specially made for the type of bird you have would be the best option but if you have to make homemade meals for your bird make sure that it does not include any of these foods. They may be okay for us but they may not be okay for your birdy friends.
