What people foods do you give your birds ? Mine like Eggo waffles, noodles, pizza crust, Cheerios, eggs, apples and bananas. However, Meadow is not big on fruit at all. The other two love them. What can I stay ? Birds are different just like people. I thought all birds like apples. How come Meadow doesn't ? LOL

I didn't want to mention pretzels and potato chips because they are not good for them. Nor are they good for me but both the birds and I eat them. LOL:rainbow1:

Oh that just cracked me up, Capt. I was the same at first, wondering what a chocolate was.....HAHAHAHHA...... :)

My Amazons love too much of the stuff that isn't good for them, so I need to be careful what I give them. Yes, they are allowed the occasional potato chip and/or pizza crust, but I try to set the example and try VERY hard to eat healthy around them/with them. :D
 
It's a good thing we're back on the wagon. It's very hard to resist Sammie when she's looking so sweet.

Tonight she got a banana pepper since I had them on my sandwich.
 
Guilty pleasures =p I have to lock Barry up, he tries to intercept food on it's way to my mouth. If that fails he will try to get it from my mouth!
 
I've never given her anything but birdfood and fruit and veges. I haven't looked into it to know what I can share with her. Can they have people bread? I often feel the urge to feed a bit of crust to all of the "pet people" who stare at me when I eat. So far, I've excluded her but if she could have a little bit too I'll probably include her in my plan to train my pets never to give me a moment's peace to eat alone.
 
People food, How my Bosley loves it.
There will be no eating in peace and certain things cannot be eaten in his presence LOL

He loves everything that is not good for him, he will tolerate vegetables and hates fruit.
 
Lol if I was eating my shoe, Oskie would want a piece! He goes bananas for peanut butter on toast, which is good as it inspires me to get the healthy, sugar/salt free organic stuff :) He's very crafty at getting our food too, many times I have walked away to the kitchen, only to come back and catch him scoffing from my plate. His wings are clipped, so he certainly puts in the effort to get what he wants!
 
Sweet Pea likes all kinds of fruits and veggies, but she goes nuts for french fries

One of Tusk's favorite phrases is: "WHO WANTS A FRENCH FRY?!" If you're eating them, you're going to hear that over and over again, until you give him one...

And if you give him one, without giving one to everyone else... doesn't work.
 
Rosie LOVES pizza crust. She also likes noodles. I let her have a piece of sugar cookie once, which she loved. But she had a huge sugar rush so I am not in a hurry to give her another. ;)

She really isn't big on veggies, they get tossed to the floor. She does love her daily APPLE!!! though.
 
So is it all right to share chips(french fries,crisps), toast and pizza crust with my galah?
 
I think it is ok as long as it is a treat. Just not part if their regular diet. :)
 
i yell at my husband when i catch him feeding oatmeal cookies to the birds... and they LOOOVE the cookies too. dally has a sweet beak. as a baby she got into my lucky charms cereal and stole a marshmallow. that was the end of it, now she tries to steal it every time i eat it--and she's going on 4 years old now! she has stolen a bite of my carrot-orange muffin once. i turn around and she's chomping away at it, looking quite proud of herself.


as for the people food goes, they get wholegrain bread, so yes bread is okay as a treat, but wholegrain is better (we use Dempster's Ancient Grain), they get a nibble of cheese (dally's big favourite!), Kaiser rolls if we're eating any, chicken, cherios, raison bran, any "healthy" grain cereal that we eat, the very rare treat of the grain part of lucky charms, and the very rare bite of a muffin or cookie if they sneak it.


but a regular human food we give is sugar free natural fruit juice. things like mango-coconut water or cranberry juice... dally loves them.


ironically, dally is our pickiest eater for the HEALTHY BIRD foods! she likes her seeds and pellets mostly with some veggies. the rest... nope she'll turn her beak up at it if it aint crunchy and dry lol
