Can I share the food I eat with my African Grey parrot?
Can I share the food I eat with my African Grey parrot?
As long as offering it our food an occasional treat, this will not be a problem. However, you have to be careful to avoid excessive protein foods of animal origin (meat, fish, dairy products, eggs…) and foods that are too spicy or too salty. There is no problem if it eats a little bread, pasta, legumes, vegetables, rice… Be moderate. It is important that the parrot does not get used to feed mainly on ingredients other than those it requires to meet its nutritional needs. PSITTACUS High Energy or Omega pellets should constitute the fundamental basis of its diet. Sharing the meal routine as a family is a pleasant and fulfilling practice for both parties, but we consider that it should not be generalized. Preferably, the animal should be fed inside its cage or in another suitable space such as a playpen.
