ranaz Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbpittman Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 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! Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranaz Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 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 Rana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 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... Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittykittykitty Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Precious likes cinnamon sticks, but at her own chosing. That means sometimes yes, sometimes no. Get organic everything if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
