Does your grey eat meat?

[judygram]

I would never feed a hot dog to a bird, it is filled with salt and preservatives, in fact we as humans should not be eating them either, you know what they say, "that if you ever go to where they make the things you will never eat another one in your life" it has other things in it that you wouldn't think belongs in food meant for human consumption.

My fids especially Josey eats chicken, turkey, lean pork cuts, deer and other wild animals that we eat and she has eggs from time to time.

Judy's right; salted meats are a big no-no.

 

My Grey prefers knuckles, thumbs, and index fingers.. especially if you catch him off guard while preening!

I never think to give Rorschach meat really, I have given him a bit of chicken before and he loved it. I have also scrambled him some eggs with shells (I read it is great for calcium) He more or less picked at the eggs but seemed to like it ok. I think I am afraid to feed him some stuff I eat because of spices and added salt during cooking. Would this be a concern? How often would it be ok to feed him meat?

 

PS TeresaAnn, you and I have sort of the same name... My first and middle name is Theresa Ann, my family call me by both

You should give him meat occasionally, also a little cheddar cheese from time to time as it contains calcium that they need, I think Josey prefers boiled eggs to scrambled.

[Butttaxi]

He does get some cheese from time to time he loves it. I haven't tried a boiled egg yet, I think he would LOVE that! do you leave on the shell?

 

Oh and it turns out that David has been giving Rorschach meat when he does the cooking.

No for boiled eggs I peel them but sometimes I put the broken up shell in the scrambled ones.

[Butttaxi]

awesome, thanks I will have to try hard boiled eggs

Our Moussa loves chicken. The first time we gave him a chicken leg, we were shocked at the carnage that ensued. It was like Jurassic Park. Nothing left but a pile of splinters.

Greyson eats.........Chicken bones(he gets the marrow from the middle) hot dogs. chicken, ham chunks, cube steak.. pretty much whatever meats I eat.. My vet said that it is really important that they get the protein from meat-- but every FID Ive ever had ate some form of meat---

 

 

as far as the "SUSHI" I would be really afraid to give Greyson raw seafood... Im just not sure their systems can process it very well not to say the bacteria that they could get-- Just my opinion tho--- (IDK I don't like sushi or any raw meats/seafood for that matter anyway)

 

This must be cultural.

 

Tink loves sushi, and must be the freshest of sushi.

 

Taste test by adoring sushi chefs always had her going for the best (and costliest) sushi each time.

 

Sushi stored in freezer by me and then thawed and given to Tink would see her flying in huff with that sushi to drop that offending piece in front of Halftail the kitty. Who ate it up immediately.

 

I get to eat her leftovers.

Judygram- why don't you give the shells when feeding your grey a boiled egg?

 

Thanks

Michelle, there is two reasons, one I don't give her an entire boiled egg when she gets it and second I think she will ingest more of the shell in the scrambled since it is crushed, I usually only give her a half of an egg at a time. I guess you could leave the shell on a boiled egg if you like but I am in the habit of always peeling them right after they cool off enough to handle.

I think it is and I guess Josey will never experience sushi since I never eat it but she does get cooked fish.

@Judygram- Thanks! I also give half at a time, I cut straight through the shell since I heard about the calcium. Just wanted to make sure it wasn;t because of counter-health reasons!
