Obviously we don't feed onions, so no silly responses like don't feed your parrots onions... well duh, yeah, we know that!!
The question is specifically about onion powder. More specifically gluten free honey mustard pretzel rods that we just tried. Ivory loves to steal a pretzel, but these have onion powder in them. I read labels constantly because of my food problems, so now along with checking labels for whey, wheat, barley, rye, lactose, milkfat, etc etc etc for myself, I usually look for onion powder too. Tori and Byron mentioned that these pretzels were honey mustard and onion and the 'onion' is onion powder seasoning.
I know that raw onions are more a worry then cooked and that a small piece of cooked onion typically won't kill a decent size parrot. Again, not feeding Ivory cooked onions... but if she swipes one of these flavored pretzels, is this essentially a non concern?
