Honey?

[Cinnyminis]

Can I give Radar, (CAG), honey? Specifically, homemade bread with honey drizzled on top in very small amounts?

What about a Zon?

Thanks

Beth

Yes to both, using your "Very small amounts" description. I wouldn't give it everyday either. I give my grey a few nibbles of an all natural peanut butter made with palm oil and honey sandwich at times. He loves it, especially the chunky peanuts.

the way luna eats she would get honey all over her feathers and the image of that would not be good.

LOL, Greys are not that stupid about getting stuff on their feathers. Of course, they have no problem slinging it on the walls, wiping their beak on you, shirt, couch etc. anything available is game.

Dan is right, they can get food all over their beak but they tend to keep it off their feathers and be prepared to receive wipes on your shirt, the furniture or whatever is handy when they decide to get that food sticking to their beaks off.

I know for humans, honey has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. There is even a type of honey produced in New Zealand specifically produced and used for wound care. Do the holistic and medicinal uses of honey (and others things) also transfer over to birds and other animals?

Ask your vet about this subject. Opinions concerning this may be harmful to your bird. Giving out advice that only vets should answer is our policy. There are no vets on this board. Feeding is a delicate subject especially when it concerns items that wild animals don't eat in the wild.

I for one, am tired of being a hankerchief! LOL! Yes... definitely check with your vet regarding honey. For me.... it sounds too high in sugar.Look into more things like protein.Eggs, beans etc Nancy
