what sort of treats can i give my cockateil. also what veg and other things can i give him. i have wrote before and i will update you on what happened. i have two cockateils cheeko and honey. cheeko i could not really let him out of his cage i did but got bit all the time putting him back in and he got in a right state so my sister said she would take cheeko as she could give him more time and also as a only bird she could try and tame him. so yesterday i let her take him home. honey was fine. but today i went out for a few hours left the radio on she had pulled a feather out so i let her out all day and have only just put her back in her cage. i didnt want to give cheeko up but my sister has had them before and knows what she is doing. it was best for cheeko. honey is fine she is eatting and flying around sitting on her cage she is not making much noise but i am hoping she will be ok. so to end this i need to know what fruit i can try i live in england thanks

Why does DeAnn O say nothing spicy? Birds love chilli and it is good for them. I think DeAnn is confused and means to say not salty.
Most things you eat your bird can eat, just made without salt , fat oil etc. A bird cant have milk so share your unsweeted, no milk breafast cereal with your bird.
Dont feed a parrot: alcohol, caffine,avocardo, mushroom, chocolate and some people say no parsley or rhubarb.
The basic diet should be a mix of veggie, fruit, a little pellets and a little seed.
Extra treats are peanuts, unsalted popcorn, chicken or chicken bone(well cooked) peanut butter, birdie bread, scrambled, boiled eggs - not fried. Birds can also have rice and pasta. Hard cheese is also ok, but not everyday.

Well, honestly when I told a vet here in the USA that I let mine eat whatever I eat in addition to seeds and spray mulett she said that was the best thing I could do. So mine ate everything with me (except choclate). He lived a long time.

Cockatiels can eat lettuce, carrots, corn, apples, banana's, cantaloupe, pineapple. Boiled noodles with no salt and hard boiled eggs. Honey Cheerios, and you can go to the pet store and get different treats, I buy the one that's made of seeds and honey and bananas. They love it. Hope this helps.

You can give them veggies and if you go to this site you can find a bunch of other treats that you have to make for them here is the site: http://www.cockatielcottage.net/biscuitsnbones/birds33cc.html
this is the page for one recipe but I'm sure that you can find many more recipes if you just play around on this site.

How about an English muffin; as they really don't have them in England, it would be a treat.

You can give him fruit's and vegetable's, as long as they don't have seeds. DON'T GIVE HIM ANY THING SPICY!!!!! You can also buy treats at your local pet store or even at Wall Mart.

I give my babies fresh fruits & veggies. Just be sure to wash very well. I also peel mine--I know---a little much, but I baby my babies.
