Moobu Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I came across a post in the photo room of one member feeding his grey Ice Cream. I was under the impression you were supposed to be very careful with feeding your bird lactose rich dairy because it was hard for their digestive systems to deal with it. Google shows multiple websites backing up this claim. Can anybody verify here? Here is one website that has this warning to only give lactose in small amounts. http://zachary.avianavenue.com/BadFoods.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Moobu, I believe it is lactose free ice cream some members feed their birds. Some of the stuff some members do on here leaves me puzzled too and I wouldn't try it myself - such as bathing their birds in iced water brrrrr. As for the ice cream I'd be worried about giving them something that cold but hey ho if it works and the bird likes it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yes, small amounts are the key operating words in your sentence regarding dairy products. My Parrots eat Cheese, Yogurt (for good bacteria), sip of milk, taste of ice cream etc. The key words are and I must UNDERSCORE them are SMALL AMOUNT.

judygram Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 My birds love cheese and they do get small amounts and they have tried other things that they shouldn't eat but again in small amounts, moderation is the key just like with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moobu Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 One day Linus was trying to eat all of my multi grain cereal out of my bowl, so I got him a little monkey dish from the cupboard and poured him a grey sized bowl of his own cereal. He still insisted on having what dad was eating but eventually realized they were the same. I just didn't want him getting sick from the milk or eating after me.
