Diet Question

[GiGi Bird]

I've been drinking cinnamin apple water. Is there any reason I should not feed the cinnamin soaked apples to my Hawk Heard?

I don't see a problem with a little. Fruit should not be a main part of a parrot's diet, but a little is ok. Cinnamon is fine.

I think fruit ccan be a good part of a healthy eating birds diet. And if your bird is flighted and uses up a lot of its energy, fruit isnt that bad then. There are some super foods that are fruits. Berries and tropical fruits like mango and papaya,, coconut, poms, are very very healthy. I think the fruits like apples and pears and grapes can be fed lightly though. Too much sugar and not enough nutrients.

Just a small bit! Sounds like a special treat. Maybe the size of a nickel.

Thanks everyone. I was more concerned about the cinnamin. She eats lots of fresh fruits and veggies. Should maybe be more veggies than sugary fruits though I guess.

Cinnamon is a good, healthy spice!
