Are These Ingredients Safe?

Would these be safe to give my birds?

The terms that has me iffy about the three products is: Sweetened. Dried.

If the product is in fact dried that process intensifies the natural ingredients and that includes 'natural sugar.' To add a sweetener does not make sense what-so-ever, for Parrots. As a general point, avoid any product that adds sugar.

Our DYH Amazon elected to entered Hormonal Season four weeks early. The last thing I would want is a Hormonal Crazed Amazon on a Sugar High.

So, they aren’t great. Added sugar, as noted.

Worse though, they are also suphurated (sodium metabisulfite) for preservative. Sulfur can be a problem for birds. When feeding dried fruits, you want sulfur-free fruits.

I’d pass on these.
