My name is Debra and I apologize in advance for my Forums etiquette.
I cook quinoa for my 4 parrots and i add cooked ground turkey{no seasoning} and they love it. But my concern is that i can haven't found any info on the net that the ground turkey causes in health problems. Please advise.

Well ALOHA to YOU! I just love that you said that … E Komo Mai Debra!
Quinoa is great and simple cooked turkey is fine in small amounts as long as it’s not fried of course. If you are using pre-ground, I would check the fat content. It’s best to use the leanest parts and avoid the fat & skin. While Protein is indeed essential for a parrot's health, it's important to keep their protein intake adequate but not excessive to avoid health issues. Mine love chicken however they get high protein in their pellets so they only get nibbles from me. Lou
