baked potato?

[crimson]

How often can you feed a baked potato to your birds? with or without the skin?

how much and the best way to cook it? Can I do it in the microwave?

thanks

I wouldn't cook anything in a microwave (dead food) but that's just me.

There's not much nutrition in a potato, it's a filler food.....if you're eating a baked and/or nuked potato every day, maybe a tablespoon a day, provided you know they are getting/eating nutrients from other foods.....

 

[crimson]

your right about nuking and not much nutrition

I think I'll pass....

What about sweet potato? (Boiled/baked)

yup, done that too.
I was just trying to think of something different.

I need to do that too, I just keep forgetting when I am at the store. Making a list.

Jasmine loves mashed up baked potato - I only give her a bit when we eat them but she makes kissy noises when she sees it! And her 'mashed potato face' when she dives right in is adorable. So an occasional treat I would say

Butternut squash is usually readily accepted

ohh, I love squash, maybe I'll keep that for my self...well maybe I can give them just a little

I give my fids baked potatoes occasionally, and they all love it.

There is Potassium, protein, calcium, iron, Vit B6, B12, and Magnesium in potatoes, so I don't think it will do ANY harm.
