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 corn are extras, not a substitute for a proper diet.
