Is too much corn bad for lovebirds?

[walterbyrd]

My lovebird, Lucky, does not eat most vegetables. But she loves corn. She does not eat the entire kernel. She squeezes the kernel, and licks the insides out.

Anyway, I read somewhere that too much corn might hinder Lucky's ability to absorb calcium. Anybody else heard such a thing?

My GCC does the same thing. I don't think too much corn is bad for them!

The only caution about corn that I found in my files is an article by Dr. Ron Hines:

Your Parrot's Top Ten Health Hazards


Though I do not remember exactly where, but a couple of years ago, I read a post to a UK thread about cracked corn having cut the throat of a companion bird.....you guys are discussing fresh and/or canned corn, I believe.....
