Yes, but they won't be the same as fresh and your bird may not like them. Same with broccoli. Fresh tastes so much better. Fortunately, fresh grapes and broccoli are available year-round.

Poppy asks for grapes all of the time and asks also if "you want a grape?"

I have to cut Ziggy's up for her and she prefers red grapes over green.

I would think they would be mushy after thawing, though.

Yeah, they are but I have a pet pig who also LOVES grapes. She likes them frozen for some reason. Also, and odd, my bird will eat grapes but he's not really crazy about them. He is SOOO FINICKY!

For the humans out there...frozen grapes are really good! They get kinda slushy, never totally hard. It's a very tasty, healty treat!

I haven't froze them, they never last long enough LOL! Just a bit of caution, we no longer buy fruit, especially grapes from Chili as a rescue a while back had a few of thier birds die from a fungus inside the grape that was undetectable visually. I think the story is on here somewhere, just don't have time right now to search, but it was so sad and scary as we all had grapes from Chili when that was happeneing.

hmm interesting

it's just that i only have one bird but a lizard that can eat it (but i can't give it to the lizard so often as it is sugary)

my grey only gets 4 grapes a day

most of the grapes go bad by the end of the week and it's such a waste of money and grapes

anywho any other suggestions to what i can do with them b4 they go bad?

ps- i'm not a big fan of grapes and neither is my bf
lols

you can always just get an extra grocery bag, and just take a small bunch of grapes from one of the bags, lol. thats what we do when we dont wanna take a whole big bag of grapes.
