My Bird Eats Meat!

[corriebirdlover]

I own a Princess Parrot, He has an Odd eating habit, He likes meat.. When we take him out of his cage, if we are eating dinner/lunch etc.. He starts eating the Meat..

Is it O.K if he does?

Please Help

ASAP!!

I have been feeding skin off cooked chicken wings to my conures and they love them.As long as it's well cooked and not processed[lunch meats and sausages contain nitrates].Also it should be lean.Admittedly I know nothing about the Princess Parrot,but my conure books say it's o.k. .

Well cooked meat is fine. Your bird may also enjoy meal worms.

sometimes my birds will eat cooked chicken, turkey, pieces of steak, beef jerky and cooked hamburger meat. it all depends on what the bird feels like eating. its OK to give them a little meat as long as its cooked very well.

My quaker eats meat as well...chicken, beef and lloooooves shrimp. I usually prepare it separate from my food with no seasoning.

My sun conure likes fish, I guess that is close to shrimp.

In the wild birds eat meat all the time. They are whatever happens to become available eaters. They clean up the landscape.

As our pets, we can make better choices for them than they might make for themselves. Sometimes not.

A little people food will not harm them. A Big Mac once a day is a bit much.

Everything in moderation. A big mac for a big macaw would be the same as us eating 50-60 big macs or more like 80 - 100 if we well built people. Got to think of the meal in relation to the bird and if the multiplication of that would make us sick then yes way too much for a birdie.
