Tofu as regular part of diet

Recommended Posts

Tofu is a common food where I live and I've been offering Nicky small amounts of it, steamed with sliced meat to add flavour and extra nutrition (he doesn't get the meat though) He loves it and eats every bit! Now I'm thinking about making it a regular part of his diet.

 

Nutritional facts:

Tofu contains mainly protein, large amounts of calcium and iron, has low fat and calories, no preservatives (the company that makes most of the tofu available locally uses none, I'm not sure about others)

 

For some reason, tofu's cheaper and easier to get here than raw soya beans :S

Yeah while it's ok for us it is not true for our birds! Beleave it or not spinich does the same thing to birds that soy does. So again it's ok once in a while but not any kind of dayly.

 

I have a great book that has helped a lot. It's called Feeding Your Pet Bird by Petra M Burgmann. I got mine used off of Amazon for $.01 plus shipping so a total of $4. I don't know if they still have any that cheep but I know they should have some under a $1.
