It is wonderful for them in small doses. But if a parrot eats TOO much garlic they can develop anemia. But the too much is apparently a good bit. An ekkie expert gives each of her ekkies one clove a day.

Scarlett gets it cooked into her mashes, and she loves it. I had to cook sweet potatoes and peppers with garlic in order to get her to even try them. Now she eats them with no problem.
