Birdnut Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have been looking around for a list of bird-safe seasonings to jazz up the birds' cooked food. I find lots of lists of safe and unsafe food items, but have not found any such lists of seasonings. Moussa the grey seems to appreciate my culinary efforts much more than the other birds, so now I'm feeling more motivated to come up with delectable dishes. I have looked at the sticky thread with recipes, which should be a good resource. Also bought a bird cookbook (seriously). Can you suggest some safe seasonings/spices that your birds have found especially yummy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msasser Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I know that Rose likes spicy peppers. Red pepper flakes and things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 My CAG and BE2 love cumin, dried and ground chiles, cinnamon, curry powder, ginger powder, allspice, garlic (I know this is controversial but my avian vet said it is ok, but that onion is not), dill, capsicum/cayenne, fennel, thyme, rosemary, mint of any sort, oregano, basil, marjoram.. Happy cooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimKim Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Babalu seems to like rosemary. I have never tried to give it to him before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzie Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Hope this is of help: http://www.landofvos.com/articles/kitchenxv.html http://www.landofvos.com/articles/kitchen.html http://birds.about.com/b/2008/05/05/growing-herbs-for-your-bird.htm http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww24eii.htm You are not wrong with it being difficult to find info on this. I googled "parrots herbs spices safe", and it mostly came up with ways to roast a turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
