harmar Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 thats what I thought, but for some reason the breeder said bread makes african greys sick which kind of shocked me since I didn't read anything about it. Kinda had me worried about the breeder, but all other questions I had I verified and they were all correct. Except for maybe the clipping, but just reading on it a lot of people debate, although now I kind of wish he didn't clip it. Heard a lot of good things about this place though. Unless I misheard him and he said a different food, but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cattalina Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I also have a question as if it is okay for CAG to have strawberries, broccoli, and cauliflower? Raw or cooked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Those are all fine foods raw or cooked. Just ensure you wash them well before serving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abbie21187 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 This was very informative, I did not know about mushrooms or uncooked beans. How about plain hummus, no garlic of course, or red pepper hummus? I eat it with carrots all the time, my grey is not home yet, but I share it with my BB as well, he seems to love it. Also, regarding caffeine, I am an avid coffee drinker, and again my BB is obsessed, I know its bad so I try to keep it from him, but once in awhile he manages to sneak a couple sips. Maybe I should not drink coffee with the birds out? any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popsicle Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Thanks for the list. How about green beans? I always fed them raw to my birds. Is it ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 (edited) Hi Dear, You share very valuable information about the foods that can poison the birds. I thank for your sharing. Now I have known the poison foods for the birds, and I will try to keep away these foods from my birds. Edited November 5, 2011 by Baird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petite0ne Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Being new to being a CAG owner, I really appreciate this list! Popsicle asked about raw green beans in the post above. I would also like to know if raw green beans are acceptable. I have been giving them to my grey and he eats the inside bean discarding the the outer shell. Is this ok or should I stop giving raw green beans to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Just about every vegetable that a bird eats is raw. The reason that a bird may only eat the internals of a certain vegetable is that the bird simple likes it. Many birds like only cooked veggies. Some like only raw veggies and some like both. Many chop/mash mixes are made with raw veggies as well as other raw items so raw veggies and other raw foods are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dejavu022597 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Wow Timotian. I knew almost all of them. I missed the tomatoes. I thought the whole fruit/veggie was off limits. I didn't know about the stems and leaves. Same with apple cores. I had no clue the seeds were bad and I definitely didn't know about dried beans. So far she hasn't experienced any of the bad foods except apple seeds. That is just a hit or miss opportunity, now it will always be a miss!

lycraloon Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Wow. Thanks so much for this information. I was blown away by some of the things that are toxic to my young lady. I joined this forum because I recently learned that Peanuts are bad for Grays and wanted to check out what else might not be good for my bird. I have taken peanuts out of her diet no matter how much she loves them. Apparently, they can get some kind of fungus on them that is bad news for grays.
