Cheerios: honey vs. plain

[KaylaD8528]

So I was really just wondering if honey coated cheerios were okay for Parrotlets and other birds. I gather the cheerio itself is an okay snack, but is the honey part?

Made this a poll for funsies.

cheerios in any form are not good for birds. Most are made from refined grains, not whole grains, plus they are fortified with vitamins and minerals for humans, not birds. Sweeteners such as sugar and honey definitely should not be given to birds. If you want to give your bird cereal, choose a whole grain, non-fortified, unsweetened, health-food type cereal, or plain cooked oatmeal.
