Hi!
I want to see if my parrots (Amazon, cockatoos, and conure) can eat raisins with their regular food and/or as a treat.

regular food

Im going with no as they are probably sugary.

or as a treat.

That sounds better, but I’m not sure. @Mizzely may know more.

The main issue with dried fruit is that sulphur dioxide is used as a preservative. This shouldn't be eaten by birds.

If you can find dried fruit that doesn't contain preservatives, you can feed them as an occasional treat.
