Wingy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I found a local grocer that carries packages of freeze dried organic vegies and fruits. These are plain with no chemicals, additives, preservatives or spices nothing except for the vegie or fruit pictured. I was thinking that they might make a nice occasional snack and be good for the emergency bag because they will keep if unopened. What do you all think? Safe or not safe.

danmcq Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Yes, they are safe. There are several online retailers that offer safe freeze dried fruits, veggies and even nuts for parrots. Here are a couple of examples: http://www.aviannaturals.com/parrotfood_af.html http://www.parrotsparrotsparrots.com/gfras.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks. I'll compare what they offer with what my local store does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnMM Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Wingy...these are excellent snacks for ourselves too! I love em. Buddy on the other hand...not so much, but I will crumble them up, then reconstitute it and mix into something he will eat, like yams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I like that they are individually packed and sealed. Great for the emergency bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 As well as healthy bird mix, I provide freeze dryed fruits and veggies. I also provide fresh fruits and veggies daily. ( I think, they eat better than the rest of the family!) LOL I have never gone crazy with diet, as competition, has made them all appreciate fresh fruits and veggies. Diet, has never been an issue for us. ( Thank God!) Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Nancy I found the freeze dried stuff at Wegmans in the organic section. I've got 3 Wegmans near places I frequent and each seems to stock different things. I've been haunting the grain/rice and organic areas of every darn supermarket looking for Kashi 7 whole grain pilaf and I'm striking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Wingy... a healthy diet, is important. Don't go crazy! Provide a healthy seed mix, including freeze dryed fruits and veggies, as well as a fresh selection of fresh fruits and veggies, daily. Diet, has never been an issue for us. I would focus diet as whatever you choose. They will disagree, and thow food. Ignore the behavior, continue to offer fresh fruits and veggies. They eventually get it.
