It's fine. Don't worry.

My birds have had Skittles, twizzlers, Starburst, Mike & Ikes, Good n Fruity, among other things they have snuck in the last 3 years...:pinch: They have even gotten into choc. chip cookies, and have no effect at all.:ohmy:

 

Honestly, I don't eat that stuff anymore...but my kids get it on occasion. It really isn't a diet I feed my kids or my birds!

Mika has stolen the occasional candy a couple of times and except for a loose stool the next day he was just fine.

 

Penny, next we are going to here that the two of them are drinking Starbucks Latte's and eating red velvet cupcakes:laugh: on occasion's only;)

Well, know that Ive gotten over my misreading embrassment. :blush:

 

I'll comment on the candy, coffee, coke and other "Forbidden" stuff.

 

I single smallish dose is not death or even sickening to them. In reading scientific studies on this, it takes a very large quantity to sicken or kill your birdy.

 

I am not of course saying it is ok to give your Grey a cup of coffee or a whole Hersheys Kiss. Just wanting to ease some over zealous anxiety of someone that has a birdy get onto something that is off limits. :-)<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2009/01/22 23:18

Hold it, not so fast, I can't let this opportunity go without a comment from the peanut gallery.:woohoo:

 

I thought women were the ones who panicked over things but Dan you take the cake and you do it so nicely.:whistle:

 

I can safely say my flock hardly ever gets any sweets as I am very careful to keep such junk away from them, I eat it all so they can't get any.:laugh: :blush:

Dan - if it helps, I though the same thing when I read it...fortunately I just read it now so got to read the whole thread before responding!

 

That said...

 

Dave - your comment was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks!:lol:

 

Judy - I think you have the best assurance for making sure the fids don't get any chocolate, etc. I, too, eat it all up quickly...just to be safe, you know. ;)
