Hi I'm Iris and I'm 19 almost 20. And I'm planning on getting a pionus parrot(don't know which one yet probably the white capped pionus) towards the end of this summer. I've had a cockatiel and two budgies in the past. I've got two lizards currently and looking at adding a third lizard soon after my old lizard dies. I'm currently working at an exotic pet store. I also work at a packaging factory for like two hours and I work at the pet store for like four hours. Someone will always be at the house either me or my boyfriend or sage our friend so that the pionus won't be lonely. We're also going to get a pigeon. And I was wondering if it would be safe for the pionus and the pigeon to be playmates or if that's a big no. My bearded dragon also eats most of the bird safe veggies he eats things like collards greens and squash etc so veggies and fruits for the bird won't be a problem. And I'm looking at getting roundybush pellets for it and also giving it nuts And seeds as treats

Okay thanks
I'll also do things like bell peppers and apples and blueberries at least once a week for my bearded dragon and I'll probably get more fruits and veggies for the pionus I know that my bearded dragon loves sugar snap peas are those okay for parrots too I know my cockatiel in the past loved them

I would guess most things safe for your beardie are also good for the parrot :)

No avocado
No tomato greens/leaves/stems
No pepper stems
No onions
No uncooked or dry beans (kidney beans, etc not like sugar snap peas)

Feed the rainbow :) Dark leafy greens and orange veggies especially as those are higher in calcium and Vitamin A. Much more veggies than fruit.
