How much is too much though? Link to comment
Guest eterri Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 If you're talking about iceberg lettuce, I wouldn't feed it at all but I'm sure you can get away with tiny pieces here and there. If you're talking about dark green leafy romaine or something similar, give him as much as he wants. Might as well let him rip into something that is healthy rather than something that is basically another form of water (iceberg lettuce). Link to comment

Guest Little Trouble Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've been told not to feed budgies lettuce because it gives them the 'runs'. I've also been told that chocolate and avocado is poison to them. Link to comment

Guest Little Trouble Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I feed my girl Bok Choy and English Spinach. I also go walking every morning the park and collect a couple of strands of grass seed for her. She loves it. Goes mad over it. Link to comment

If he finds it a bit hard to bit into, often 3-4min in the microwave does the trick. Although watch out for the hot spots in the stem. Make sure it's cool down :hap: Link to comment

I've also been told that chocolate and avocado is poison to them. Chocolate and avocado are poisonous to parrots. So is raw onion. Feeding lettuce won't give a bird the 'runs', it just increases the output of urine since lettuce is mostly water. The formed part of the stool should still look normal. If you want to offer your bird lettuce, go ahead. Mine absolutely love red-leaf lettuce. Link to comment
