Treats??

[ConureCrazy]

Hi, I was wondering what are some good fruits, veggies, nuts, or seeds I could give to my green cheeks? I already give them plain organic freeze dried apples, regular apples (they love apples), sunflower seeds, raw and cooked pasta, and carrots. Are these all safe foods? So if anyone can give me a brief list of things my conures will like, please do so. I'm sorta running out of ideas. Thanks!

If you can try to stay away from sunflower seeds and use nuts instead such as walnuts, pecans, pine nuts but never feed peanuts because they can carry botulism and are very fatty.

If your bird likes them dark leafy greens are fantastic(curly kale, spinach and broccoli) and full of healthy foods. A tiny bit of cooked salmon is alright, but not very much. acorn squash(cooked or raw) is also very good for them along with most other orange vegetables.

The conure I had loved to pick out the nut meat from an opened walnut. Nutriberries are always a favorite.

They sell pine nuts at the grocery store in the produce department usually.

mysafebirdstore.com will sell the pine nuts in the shell in season.

Our birds really love unseasoned popcorn and pumpkin seeds. For the popcorn you can just buy popping corn, throw it in a brown paper bag and fold or tape the top down and pop it in the microwave for a minute or two.

Cool, thanks! I'll try the popcorn, and they love pumpkin seeds!
