While some human foods can be safe and even beneficial for birds in moderation, others are highly toxic. Safe options include small pieces of fresh fruits (apples without seeds, berries, melon, banana), vegetables (leafy greens, carrots, bell peppers, broccoli), and whole grains (cooked pasta, oatmeal). Avoid avocado, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, fruit pits/seeds (excluding berries), onions, garlic, and high-fat, high-sugar, or salty processed foods. Always introduce new foods slowly and in tiny amounts. Their primary diet should still be high-quality bird pellets and fresh produce, not human food. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
