Cinamon

[ranaz]

Hi Everybody,

Ive just seen a photo with a parrot nibbling on a cinnamon stick (The wood like roll).

Is that healthy? Anyone tried with their grey?

[JungleDreamz]

I have no idea! I hope someone chimes in that might know, I want to know now!

I have found several of these in the bags I've found of store mix. I also found them used in several recipes on line. Dixie doesn't care for them but your grey may. Enjoy!

Just make certain that it has not been treated with a pesticide, my Grey will chew them up once in a while. It does make the food bin smell really good. Star Anise is also popular with some parrots.

Oh great, We will try them imeditely. I will make sure to wash them first just in case, bu I do not think they use pesticides on those, as they are ment for human consumption.

Anyway will let you know how it goes

CINNAMON-- Exerts mild anti-fungal effect on candida and other types of yeast, and aspergillus. It also has a mild anti-bacterial effect against strep and staph bacteria.

Aniseed-- has antiseptic properties and is also a digestive aid. Chewing the seed is an ancient breath freshener;)

We give all our fids these goodies. Cinnamon we use as a powder and sprinkle on there soft food, or a stick as a treat...

Star Anise, it's enjoyable watching them eat it...Serve both as is, out of the bag...

Precious likes cinnamon sticks, but at her own chosing. That means sometimes yes, sometimes no. Get organic everything if you can.
