Can Birds Eat Cherry?
Cherry is okay only in small amounts for birds. Flesh is safe but the pit contains cyanide compounds and must always be removed.
How to serve cherry to birds
Offer only a small amount, and not every day. Introduce it slowly the first time and watch for soft stools, gas, or a change in appetite over the next 24 hours. When in doubt, give less.
The right everyday diet for birds
Companion birds do best on a formulated pellet diet with fresh vegetables and some fruit — and no fatty, salty, or sugary human foods. Foods like cherry are extras, not a substitute for a proper diet.
