Sorry I couldn't find the controversial topic section, and I'm not sure if this would even go there!
I'm part of a parrot group on facebook and things got a little heated this morning when I saw the administrator stating that bird bread is bad, and to never feed it to your birds. Her response was that "a healthy bird won't starve. Baking the vegetables in the bread gets rid of its nutritional value and they then fill up on the bread and don't get the nutrients they need." She also mentioned that the jiffy muffin mix has animal lard, which is an understandable concern. My thought is it allows us to add a wide variety of foods to our fids diet that they normally may not eat
Just wanted to get everyone's opinions on this!
Eta; I know a lot of people use oats and pellets as a base. When I said this she stayed by the fact that it's just "extra calories" and distracts from their "real food".
