| There's nothing earth-shattering here, but it's a pretty good article. I don't agree with every word, but I'm picking nits... Pet Bird Food Myths | |

| Yeah, my first jenday had a weakness for french fries. I didn't see the harm in giving her one every blue moon; just like Ducky loves candy canes and swedish fish. | |

| I think it's a good start for a bird newbie. Really, at the end I'd have hoped they would have said something like, "this is not the end all be all, please look into further healthy foods and treats for your birds."
Aries eats a lot of what we do because we don't really use salt and use a lot of fresh fruits and veggies.
Lactose intolerance == really poopy bird. | |
