Pictures Beans?

[Luvss2ride]

I buy random frozen veggies (please no lectures on fresh being better). But I bought a different kind last week.... then looked at the Do Not Feed list again today and beans is on there. Now I'm worried about what they've been eating the past week
Exactly what's bad about beans?
Thank you

I will not because sometimes the frozen one have better quality then the fresh ones.
I think it's more important how you cook them. The right way is never to cook them at all. Not in water and not in the microwave.

Hot water is good, I use it to thaw frozen veggies, you could try cold water, I've heard it works too.

I usually put the frozen veggies in their dishes first thing in the morning and let them sit on the counter about 15 or 20 minutes ..... then they are thawed and I put them in their cages
And heaven forbid if I am late with their veggies... LOL

The thing about beans is that they must be cooked. They can be toxic if ingested dried. I don't, however, feed soy beans. I don't know if they're actually bad, though.

If you only fed adzuki, lentils, garbonzo, sprouting peas and mung beans, you'd be okay feeding these cooked or sprouted!!!



All others *MUST* be fully cooked for human consumption in order to be considered safe for birds. I choose to skip them. Makes life easier.
