Herbal Tea

I know I just made a discussion on remedies for your bird. However, I am curious about herbal tea. I know caffeine is not good for a parrot but no caffeine? Is it good for your bird?

From what I understand, some people give stuff like chamomile tea and hibiscus tea regularly to their birds. I believe 'BirdTricks' on youtube talks about it. Can't remember, so don't quote me on that, LOL!

Thanks. I won't 😅

So, parrots can’t have caffeine, however, any bird safe tea steeped from safe flowers is good for them!

My conure Tom especially loves chamomile and hibiscus tea! I’ve also given my birds, calendula, rosehip, and lavender tea.

I know Bird Street Bistro makes a few premade tea blends.

Yep, bird teas are an established trend in the avian internet retail space, lol! They're fun because they can be steeped OR sprinkled in a forage box as a fun treat to chew on. My only point to add is you should always provide teas in a separate additional bowl, you don't want to give it instead of plain water.
