Strawberries

Can parrots have strawberries????????????

Organically grown strawberries at home, maybe even ones at healthfood stores are usually sure to be safe, while others bought in regular grocery stores may have been sprayed with pesticides and other chemicals. You only need to make sure that you wash them carefully and to make sure they are clean, not getting moldy.

Just a couple days ago I gave my birds some strawberries. Some like them, while some of the others just don't know how to eat them because they are just use to the shape and/or texture.

Yes, if you do give your parrot strawberries, please take your time at washing them, making sure that anything harmful is removed. Now if your parrot likes strawberries like my budgies do, be ready for a messy cage that you will need to wipe rather thoroughly. Strawberries are one of their favorites, but I only treat them on rare ocassions because of the mess. :icon_smil Also, my budgies like Kiwi, too. You could try these..

I have to laugh as I gave my Quaker and Cockatiel some fresh stawberries for the first time yesterday......they love them, but wow what a mess it was. They "flinged" them all over the wall and now thier toys are all sticky too. It doesn't seem too easy to get off, I think i will stick to the apples from now on!! Or just be ready to clean up before it starts sticking :)
What a mess 2 little birds can make...I can not even imgine what a mess the BIG birds could make!!!
Have a good Memorial day everyone.........
