Feeding Parrots Pulp From Juicing Machine?

[Puck]

I am a juicer, which means I have TONS of pulp left from apples, kale, celery, cucumber, oranges, melon, beets... the list goes on forever... after I make juice. I was wondering if you guys think it would be okay to feed to birds? I have made dog treats from it before...

YES! I frequently mix pulp in with Kiwi's beans and grains mix. Bonus if I was juicing greens

Actually, you can make very tasty juice pulp 'burgers' for yourself if you want (veggie juices) and use fruit juice pulps in breads and sweets. Juice pulp is very versatile

I would think so. Everyone needs fiber!! As long it isn't originally poisonous to parrots, I wouldn't see a problem... :jumping40

I think it's okay - I gave mine some coconut and carrot pulp from juicing. I just mixed it with the seeds to they would eat it (they hate carrots, and that was probably the only time they ate them).

It's not juicing, but I regularly make green smoothies for myself and the flock using different combinations of dates, strawberries, blueberries, mangos, bananas, peaches, blackberries and spring mix or baby spinach with coconut water and a splash of coconut milk.

They love the smoothies, which have all the pulp that your juicer takes out, so it should be perfectly safe and quite healthy for them.
