Good Post Dan

Jayd. bottom line is Sodium is necessary to the well being of parrots and people and most other living things. It should not be excluded from their diet and nor should there be an excess of it in their diet.

yes, sorry forgot to include that. she is a CAG

really? so boiling the egg in 200+ degree water for 15 minutes is not enough to kill bacteria?

nice pictures. like you on the weekends i feed my birds similar stuff. my garden is finally starting to produce (hahh get it produce) so they got some bell peppers, jalapenos and squash this morning.

Jayd i dont know if you are just being obtuse or just trolling. are you seriously saying farmed bananas contain more in sugar and salt than wild bananas??? wow dude i would love to see the science behind that. The only difference between a "wild" and farmed banana is the size of the seeds. wild bananas have much larger seeds. they are exactly the same banana in nutrition. as far as chemicals.... well that's why you wash them and PEEL THEM before you eat them. you saying that parrots do not get rid of salt from their bodies is flat out 100% wrong. Excess salt is excreted through the kidneys. Just like humans, they will drink extra water to assist the kidneys in this function. So their is no build up over time unless salt is frequently excessive in the diet, or if there is kidney disease. please learn your facts and stop spreading misinformation and flat out false statements. yes potassium is a salt but it is NOT TABLE SALT. there is a big big big difference between the two, chemically they are not the same at all. please learn the difference. "What I wrote isn't only a opinion but scientific facts." dude i think you need to take science class over because your facts are nothing but opinion and are far from being scientific fact.

i weigh Luna a couple times a month. she hovers around 440 grams. and will be a year old on 12 aug.

why is it safer? because its organic?

wait... did you mean change the food every 2-3 hours??? thats a bit much dont you think?

boot the boyfriend. problem solved. well sort of

thanks for that link. good information over on that site.

lol nice. <<my main is a 85 human lock on Moonguard. I also have a 85 NE druid, a 85 NE rogue, and my 85 NE shadow priest that used to be my main. all on moonguard. ive been trying to teach Luna "daboo" and "zug-zug"

you know bananas are loaded with sugar and potassium right? ive seen wild parrots chowing down on bananas in Panama. nearly every parrot owner i know gives their bird fruit. there is nothing wrong with giving them foods they really like in moderation. 1 tablespoon of coconut water straight from the coconut has 16mg of salt, 0mg of sugar and a whopping 37.5mg of potassium. so is milking a coconut really any better? i posted a link to this info in my OP.

last week the grocery store had flavored coconut water on sale for a buck each. so i have read that coconut water is great for parrots so i got a couple. her favorite is coconut with mango. its loaded with electrolytes but has salt and sugar so a once in a while treat it is. by the way, i tasted it and BLEAH!! nasty nasty nasty. here is the nutrition value of coconut water. you can change the quantity with the drop-down at the top. i am going off a 100g severing. i give Luna like 4-5 table spoons a couple times a week. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3115/2

I do becuse it gets expensive. i also feed my grey harrisons and she does the same. munch on some of the kibble and drop it and go back to her bowl to get another kibble.

umm wow. CBD created an account to respond to the OP?? thats pretty cool and makes one ask the question why the OP didnt contact CBD in the first place.

is that world of warcraft on your PC?

could you post pics of your grey in the new cage? i really like that feeding station so im very interested in getting this cage.

in your pics the front looks open. is it? or is there some type of barrier that looks invisible in the photos?

he is a great little bird, we are his third home and really enjoy him. he does not fly, his wings are not clipped so i dont know why he does not fly. so we take him to the store, post office and outside on our shoulder.

i could not take that for very long. i can take a parrots chirps, sqwacks , whistles for a long time but dog barks is one sound that if goes on for longer than 10 seconds gets me upset.

nice parrot toy in the second vid.

lol nice. luna will have nothing to do with laying on her back.

thanks for shareing, you have a great eye for framing the picture and i enjoy your work.

google "aviator harness parrot" and you will be amazed how easy it is to buy them.
