My eclectus parrot eat FLIES

[centuryegg]

I am not sure if FLIES are safe for them to eat

 

[Flboy]

Hi! Absolutely not! Many are infected with parasites!

Welcome to you and your Eclectus.

While some fruit and nectar feeding birds such as rainbow lorikeets will eat the odd insect or small skink or gecko now and then, I agree with Flboy that eating houseflies is not a good idea due to the risk posed by the bacteria they carry. Best avoided!
