[Mrspy]

Hello there, i just know i'm not the only one who's parrot is CRAAAAZY about people food. So name off some of his favorites. Here's Peeps favorite people foods

whole grain bread
meat
potatos
carrot
broccoli
cheese
eggs
pasta
BASICALLY ANYTHING

LOL I think you just listed bird food. People food is what is left over - bread crumbs, carrot tops and egg cartons.

meat? is that good for them(cows were given meat (well, meat protiens) and they got mad cow lol)...???

my birds list would be:
- almonds
- multigrain cheerios
- celery

not much...lol

 

[Beilana]

So far Hiroshi's favorite food is whatever I'm eating...but it has to be on MY plate or in MY bowl to be his favorite lol

Ruby's favorite foods so far are scrambled eggs and chicken. Granted she's only 4 months old, but when she eats them she does the baby bird head bob thing. She gets so excited just to see it.

Max loves anything bread.

Popcorn loves bread and butter. He stole half of my English muffin the other day.

Jade doesn't really have a favorite...she just likes to try everything.

Cows only get Mad Cow if they're give beef or beef by-products from an infected cow. That's why giving livestock feed made from their species (cows, chickents, pigs, etc) is illegal in most countries.

(sorry the food nerd kicked in for a bit)

Parrots have been know to eat carrion in the wild - not often, but they do. And most birds will eat eggs from other birds' nests...again, not often. But eggs and poultry - in limited quantities - are good for parrots.

My keet's favorite foods are pizellis and pizza crusts with pepper flakes. She also bomb dives into my food dishes to investigate what I'm eating, LOL.

 

[Spiritbird]

What a fun question. Rosie would do anything for a nibble of cheese or a french fried sweet potato.

 

[madparrotwoman]

Both my two love:
Cheese - although I don't give much or very often.
Chicken
Toast
Biscuits - digestive/shortbread/rich tea.
Country Crisp - breakfast cerial
Pizza
and anything which is bad for them and I don't want them to have.

Hahaha not for Peeps! Peeps dosn't CARE if it belongs to you, or the other person, he'll just run over and eat!!

 

[Bobby34231]

I'm thinking my list of what human food they don't like would be a whole heck of a lot shorter........

 

[Mrspy]

hhahahaah, so true so true. Peeps would be interested in metal if he saw me trying to eat it!!

 

[Mel]

meat? is that good for them(cows were given meat (well, meat protiens) and they got mad cow lol)...???

my birds list would be:
- almonds
- multigrain cheerios
- celery

not much...lol

A small amount's OK. Chicka LOVES eating the meat left on a t-bone after dinner. They both love sao biscuits

 

[Beilana]

Maybe I'm wierd but I can't bring myself to give my bird chicken lol

 

[apatrimo94]

Maybe I'm wierd but I can't bring myself to give my bird chicken lol

LOL, same here. It feels weird having the bird eat a related cousin. I can give them eggs, but not chicken. The only meat I would give my birds is taco meat lol.

 

[Mrspy]

I don't have much of a choice!!!! h ahahahah

Which came first...the chicken? or the egg? lol I give Hiroshi egg as well I'm kind of a hypocrite:54: hehe

 

[SharonC]

My Budgies won't eat new food very readily. Charlie will try anything. Levi and Freddie love bread, chicken, turkey, all fish, especially Salmon...

 

[bogo1]

Sam loves plain waffles and kasha (Russian hot cereal) but the item has to be on my plate

 

[wildheart]

Sterretjie eats anything as long as it is on my plate, even if I dish it onto her own plate right in front of her she just walks past it and back to my plate.

Her favorite is slap chips - french fries (American)
She only eats the butter of the bread and throws the bread on the floor - naughty girl.
She loves scrambled eggs more than baked.
She chases me for cheese!
Macaroni and cheese are another favorite.

And, and, and....
