I am a juicer, which means I have TONS of pulp left from apples, kale, celery, cucumber, oranges, melon, beets... the list goes on forever... after I make juice. I was wondering if you guys think it would be okay to feed to birds? I have made dog treats from it before...

YES! I frequently mix pulp in with Kiwi's beans and grains mix. Bonus if I was juicing greens:D

Actually, you can make very tasty juice pulp 'burgers' for yourself if you want (veggie juices) and use fruit juice pulps in breads and sweets. Juice pulp is very versatile:)

Still on that mission, but looking for my mushy! <3
I would think so. Everyone needs fiber!! As long it isn't originally poisonous to parrots, I wouldn't see a problem... :jumping40

I think it's okay - I gave mine some coconut and carrot pulp from juicing. I just mixed it with the seeds to they would eat it (they hate carrots, and that was probably the only time they ate them). :)

It's not juicing, but I regularly make green smoothies for myself and the flock using different combinations of dates, strawberries, blueberries, mangos, bananas, peaches, blackberries and spring mix or baby spinach with coconut water and a splash of coconut milk.

They love the smoothies, which have all the pulp that your juicer takes out, so it should be perfectly safe and quite healthy for them.
