What kind of food is dangerous to parrots?

Fruit, juices, bread etc.? I have a green cheek conure and he eats his pellet food and some millet spray, seeds etc.

What should I avoid giving him?

Some toxic foods are: Avocados, alcohol, chocolate, milk (and dairy products), foods high in salt and/or sugar and fatty foods should be avoided.

Any food considered junk food for humans should also be considered junk food for pet birds.

Most fruits and veggies are good, and in fact should be given on a daily basis. I offer my GCC fruit (example: grapes, apples, grapefruit, pear, berries, etc.), veggie mix (given daily: peas, corn, green beans, carrots, broccoli), unflavored pasta, beans, multi-grain bread, sprouted seed, boiled crushed egg (shell and all). These are just examples. Here are some great websites about Green Cheeks…

I also recommend joining an online Green Cheek group. They can be a great source of information and advice. Here are a few to choose from…
