Give your feathered friends milk?

[Georgiesmum]

What are your opinions on letting your parrots have a little milk? George loves milk but I'm afraid this is harmful so he only gets a taste every now and then... :confused:

Greys are lactose intolerant so letting him have a little milk is harmful but a taste once in a while won't do him any harm.

Ok thanks Judy It's a pity as he goes mad for It but thats prob only because he's not allowed have It! lol

Hi, we give all our fids a product called "Rice Dream" [reg, no vanilla] It's a rice product and is good for them, Golly, it tastes like low fat milk, most stores carry it, just put a few Cherrio's and a little rice milk and enjoy breakfast wit you Grey....Jayd

Great idea Jay! Thanks! I can't keep Paco out of milk either, he goes made for it, but I only let him have the odd tast as well.

I give ozzie almond milk, not tried rice milk, might be nice for a change for him, occassionaly whan i have cereal i will have almond milk on it too lol, so at least when he falls head long into the bowl and shares he's ok.

[Georgiesmum]

Dairy sensitive household and we used to all drink Soy milk but prefer the Almond milk and now the Coconut Milk.

Our vet told us that if the animal doesn't have teats, then it shouldn't drink milk. Even if Loki did get into the milk, its lactose free, so I wouldn't be too worried. The last thing I need is her addicted to that. We switched to low-sugar juice because she kept trying to ninja our drinks lol
