The first things I offered Franklin when we got him was apple slices and grapes. Make sure you never give them the seed/pit of the fruit and no apple peels either. No avacado said:
Apple seeds contain cyanide which is toxic however the peel is fine as long as you wash them to make sure there isn't any pesticide. Goes the same for all fruits where you keep the skin on like oranges, bananas, watermelon etc...

This sparks a new question. I was told not to cook with coated pans. That is can be highly toxic to birds. Is this true???

Stainless Steel, Cast Iron and for baking you can use Aluminum. Absolutely NOTHING labeled as "non-stick". And your above quote is the reason we say to go Organic. They can't use pesticides and be labeled as Organic. You still need to wash them, but you're less likely to have any pesticide residue. Even though I buy Organic, I still use a Produce Wash you can find at Whole Foods.
