We have heard different stories about parrots and saliva and was wondering if somebody could help. Books we have read have said NO human saliva as it can pass bacteria.
Our Alex Diesel simply goes nuts trying to get in our mouths! He LOVES anything we have chewed and sometimes tries to forcibly get it out of our mouths by pushing his beak up to our lips. He even continues to do it when he knows we have nothing in our mouths!
He has more than enough food and fresh water changed regularly, and we started making sure some of it was a little pulpy like mashed fruit etc. in case he prefers soft food, but he loves cracking nuts and harder food and seems to have no trouble, and tends to ignore the mashed stuff.
Just not sure if this behaviour should be encouraged? We don't mind, he is super snuggly when he does it...just not sure if it is harmful and if it is, we will stop.
Any comments would be appreciated. :smile004::smile033::smile032::smile031:
