Hot pepper mystery

[Avian Rook]

Can cockatiels eat hot pepper (chillies)? If so how many to feed per day?
P.S. Thanks in advance

Yes, but I don’t know of a limit. You don’t want them to eat so much that they don’t eat enough of their other food.

Mild chillis (with the seeds) are part of my flock's daily chop. Plenty of vitamin A. They don't get the capsaicin 'burn' like mammals do.

Hot chilli either whole or chopped (sometimes dried) is something I feed most days with breakfast veggies- it is no different to feeding them capsicum as the heat doesn’t affect them as Ripshod already mentioned.
