Thanks for the list BBS, looks like my lovebird will have to live in a bubble! :P
It is amazing how many things can be harmful, and that list helps me be better prepared. I am assuming it will be possible and perhaps easy to avoid all those items for my lovebird.
I respect that avarian site, and the hamster issue with almonds...but digestive systems work differently.
So, I wonder if anyone else has a third opinion to add to the group?
As of now, better safe than sorry, looks like Almonds won't be on my lovebirds diet. I am sure my lovie will survive as long as he/she never knows they exist! As the wiseman once said, "Eat an oreo and vanilla wafer you like oreos. Eat a vanilla wafer and a cracker, you like vanilla wafers."
Best tasting foods can be relative and I am sure my bird will have plenty favorites.
