jimmycoop2005 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I was eating Chinese coleslaw it has bracoli, carrots, green onions, noodles, cabbage, and sunflower seeds with a red vintager dressing. I sat it down on my lap to grab something and Cosmo ran over to it and took some bites he seemed to like it but I took it away quickly not knowing if anything was bad for him.

Kibibi Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The onions but it sounds like probably not enough to do any harm. I'm not sure about the dressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The onions would not be good for him is the only thing I see that would be bad unless there was a lot of sugar in the dressing, everything else looks fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapala Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 It sounds okay, especially if the dressing didn't have a lot of salt or oil in it. Raw vegetables are fine. I give my Grey a bit of salad or coleslaw sometimes too, but no rich mayonaise type dressings. Reta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmycoop2005 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 From what I could see he mostly ate the cabbage and the noodles, I don't think he ate any for the green onion. They were sliced up so if he did I don't think he got much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The onions jimmy as the others have said, next time you have chinese perhaps make up a little bowl for Cosmo, some carrots,noodles etc,cabbage is not bad for them, but not much nutrition value.

chapala Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Cabbage actually is quite nutritious, much more so than lettuce. As a member of the cole family (kale, collards, mustard, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower), there is good nutrition in green and red cabbage. Perhaps less in Chinese cabbage - I haven't researched that since it's not available here in Mexico, ut it would be easy to find out. Glad you all caught the onions, I overlooked that. Onions are not good to feed parrots. A little bit won't hurt however. I would be more concerned about the noodles - probably made from a refined grain, wheat or other. Whole grains are best to feed parrots - no refined grains if possible. Reta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 You are right, Reta, whole grains are best instead of refined, for our greys and ourselves as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmycoop2005 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 These noodles are romain(sp) noodles, I looked it up and onions kill their red blood cells. I guess they are not as dangerous as avocado though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevjoe Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Any leftover slaw left. Sounds good to me. If you need my address to send the leftovers just ask. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nychsa Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 LOL I can totally empathize Jimmy! I'm finding since getting Bella I am SO careful about what I eat because she comes flying over and starts foraging around on my plate as if it were the communal plate! I tried to have a talk with her and explain to her that I'm at the top of the food chain for a reason, but all she does is give me kissies and then lick my lips :blink: Well, my doctor couldn't get me to eat healthier, but my parrot can LOL!
