Aly~ Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I'm addicted to all of the Greys on YouTube. Is it really ok to give your bird a chicken bone to chew on? Aly~
particle77 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 cooked chicken bones are brittle, and likely to splinter. I would not allow my parrot to eat one. I've read that raw chicken bones are safe for dogs. not sure about parrots. I'm phobic about raw chicken in general...
judygram Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I give Josey a cooked chicken bone from time to time, only from a baked chicken, not a fried one, I do keep an eye on her while she tears it up to get the marrow inside, she loves it.
lovethatgrey Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I've heard of some parrot owners giving chicken bones to their parrots and their parrots loving it. When I offered one to Emma and Sachi they just looked at me as if to say "Are you serious?"
Tycos_mom Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 My birds look at me funny also when I offer them a bone with no chicken on it. But offer them a piece of chicken and they are in birdy heaven all my birds will do just about anything for a piece of chiken or turkey or fish I think if they had their way that would be all they would eat. so its definatly a treat once or twice a month.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/10/08 04:33
Luvparrots Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I heard how others' greys liked chicken bones so I have gave a chicken leg or two to Ana Grey and she has just ignored them. She does like chicken meat though. Prefers white meat!!
Aly~ Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Maybe I'll try to give Rebel one and see how she reacts. She does like chicken.
judygram Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Josey did kind of look at it funny the first time I offered her one but the second time she took it and every time I give her one she tears it up to get the marrow inside, just leave a little bit of meat on it to entice her.
Guest jamalbirdbiz Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 cooked and uncooked chicken bonez are a favorite of my birdz. i dont deny them that. what they want. they get B) b/cuz i luv them.
danmcq Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Jamal - NEVER give you birds uncooked chicken bones. If your birds get salmonella, they could die.
Guest jamalbirdbiz Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 "if: is the operative word. It iz doubt full they will get salmonella. Raw food diets are recommended for petz. U should check it out.
danmcq Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Jamal - Never recommend to anyone to feed a parrot raw meat, bones etc. That is a risk NO ONE should take. I KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!!!! If YOU like taking chances with you birds life, you are a very poor bird owner in my opinion. YOU NEED TO RESEARCH, NOT ME. I did my homework long ago.
Guest jamalbirdbiz Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I quess we will juzt have to agree to disagree, but thankx for ur concern. ur heart is in the wright place.
JillyBeanz Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 I cannot believe that you are feeding your bird raw meat - would you eat raw chicken yourself? It is absolutely DEADLY - Please type this into google: Feeding Parrots Raw Meat - it's really clever and brings up hundreds of articles - mostly entitled NEVER, DANGEROUS, DEADLY etc etc. If you are feeding your parrot raw meat you are taking unneccessary, stupid risks and I deplore you for not taking Dan's absolutely, bang on, correct advice.

JillyBeanz Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Back to the chicken bones - here's Harvey showing you how to eat COOKED chicken bone!! <br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2009/10/10 04:40
Aly~ Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Harvey is sooo awesome!! I can't wait to get home and offer Rebel one now! I guess I'll be making chicken salad tonight!!
judygram Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Make enough for me then for I love chicken salad! Get a picture of Rebel eating it if you can manage it.

Me too - but minus the chicken - I'm a vegetarian!!! :laugh: I think it's a bit canabalistic - but all in the line of great parrot care! Hope Rebel accepts the chicken bone and isn't chicken!
judygram Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Wouldn't be much left then would it Jill, silly woman!!!:laugh: :woohoo: :laugh:
Aly~ Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 ok, so... 1 chicken salad 1 veggie salad and 1 chicken bone.... Got it!! I'll try to get pictures. Rebel doesn't much care for the camera, but I keep clicking. I end up with a bunch of bad pictures. I keep thinking one day one of them will be good. Aly~
judygram Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 You got the right attitude, one of them pictures has got to be good enough to share, it doesn't have to be perfect. BTW, I like lite mayo in my salad!!! B)
JillyBeanz Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Mayo Light! So American! I'll have Low Fat Mayonnaise on my lettuce leaves please!!! :laugh: I presume that is a chicken salad without the chicken Judy?
danmcq Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 OK, now this thread has made me hungry for some BBQ'd Chicken....My Son has it on the grill now.....mmmmmmm, mmmmmmm....mmmmmmmmm :-) Rice pilaf, mixed veggies and salad sides.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'll save a couple of bones for Dayo. ;-)
