Dave007 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 hard brick cheese--cheddar, medium, sharp, extra sharp. 1/4 in. thick x 1 in. square once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazbaby36 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 she loves her cheese would it hurt her to have it 3 times a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 My Josey loves her cheese too but they really shouldn't have any more than Dave suggests, greys are lactose intolerant so they cannot handle the dairy like we can. You don't want to make them ill just for the pleasure of a little extra cheese. I give slivers of cheese several times a week but the total amount she has in a week's time is what Dave gives, that way she has it more than once in a week but just in smaller amounts at a time. Believe me my grey and my sun conure both love cheddar cheese and as soon as you bring the package out of the fridge they know it and their eyes get big and begging.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Instead of my suggestion, go with Judy--it's better to feed the cheese that a bird that loves that way as long as you don't overdo it. My birds get nervous when they hear the package opening. One once flew onto the fridge and just WATCHED me INTENTLY and waited until the knife came out and the slice was completed-----then he clucked.

LindaMary Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 What about goat's-milk cheese? Or soy cheese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think all birds would do just about anything for cheese. I feed mine like Judy or for my smaller conures somtimes I'll grate it so it looks like more than it actually is. my little brat GCC Sprout will steal Lunas FSC right away from her he will gobble his and then grab hers. Luna is such a gentle little thing and won't fight for anything she lets him have what he want and then takes whats left some times when it comes to treats I actually have to put Sprout in his cage just so Luna gets hers. There is a big difference in age between them Sprout will be 2yrs in Dec and Luna is 11 yrs so she getting older and Sprout is stil a little punk:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodoowoman Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Whoops-I need to cut back Oliver's cheese intake-but I'll do the grating thing-he likes cheese in any form. Glad to see the other kiddos are groovin on cheese too-I thought I had the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'm glad this question came up. I have only given them small amounts of cheese only on a couple occassions and found they loved it too! Now I can feed more often now that I know how much is ok. My flock will be happy!
