Tari Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Not sure what these are. But I can tell you this salt is very bad for parrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yeah, I know the salt is bad, the bbq spices might not be good either, I don't know. Might irritate his system as they 'travel' through him. Dorian's sooo interested in whatever I'm eating, I find myself choosing healthier food when I'm eating around his cage. Guess I could call it "The Grey Diet":laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teluhlasmom Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I do the same thing!I have started buying all organic fruit and veggies and all sorts of other natural foods, like rice cakes, instead of candy bars like before!!! Amazing how much we will change our lives for our little friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Well I am bad I have not changed my diet that much but I do try to have things handy the birds can have when I do eat near them. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hmmm, I have never heard of Hulahoop crisps? But, they don't sound like a food you would want to give more than just a very tiny piece of to your Grey. I like Totilla chips and Salsa, so I break off a very small piece of a chip and let Dayo have that to eat. I also brush the excess salt off before giving it to him. If I don't give him something when I'm eating, He keeps trying to jam his beak between my Lips :pinch: and when that doesn't work, he licks thew outside a little...kinda tickles :-) but, I am VERY careful that he does not get inside my lips due to the Bacteria that resides in all our mouths that could be detrimental to our beloved Greys. I'm in the same health boat as the rest...we eat a much healthier diet now, than Pre-Dayo Era B) It's Year 1 A.D. Anno Dayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Dont feed the hula hoops or any kind of crisps they are bad for our greys, try buying bread sticks or rice cakes or a bit of wholemeal toast for him to munch on occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Yes that is one thing for sure, having a grey does make me consume a healthier diet, I am buying more fresh veggies and fruit and not eating junk food because Josey wants whatever I am having and that is good for me too, I am losing weight because of her. How great is that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy75 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 hi dont know if these would help.but you can get crisps called salt and shake,where the salt is in a packet away from the crisps,so if you didnt add the packet of salt 1 ever so often i guess wont hurt as it would just be a crisp.lol no salt at all.I dont feed crisps,bernie loves bannanna chips he would do anything for a taste :silly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Josey will hardly touch a banana chip or the fresh banana either, go figure, I think it is something to do with the texture of it that she doesn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I must have a weird grey... He doesn't want anything to do with our food! Makena loves crunchy stuff, especially dry noodles. And the best part, they are salt free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisejane Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Alfie, your grey sounds alot like Eddie and seems to have a taste for everything bad! When we first picked up Eddie from his old home their advice was to buy some Walkers cheese and onion crisps and some minstrels, (chocolate) for him as he loved them. :angry: Some people have no idea. He also went mad for chips! Very pleased to say that his addiction to junk food is slowly going away, every once in a while I will let him have a corner of a crisp as a treat. He screeches at the top of his lungs if he see's us eating crisps without sharing so our daughter has to eat hers in secret in her room! He now eats what we eat, I have to give him his own bowl of what we have for dinner, sweetcorn, pea's, brocolli, cauli and potatoes. He also loves chicken! Is this right??:blink: The only fruit he will eat is green grapes, wont touch red and occasionally apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
