| Question about Pets:Fruit for parakeet? |
First of all, do not give him any avacados, they are not good for the bird and can be toxic.
That said, there are a variety of fresh fruits and veggies that you can give him to keep him healthy and happy. A book on how to care for your parakeet should help you out with what you can give him. You can get these at a petstore, or check one out at your local library.
When you do try fresh fruits and veggies, remember to chop them small enough for the bird and wash them thoroughly before offering, and don't be discouraged if he doesn't eat them or throws them on the floor. I would offer the same thing for three days before trying new foods to determine if he likes them, as the new experiece of having fresh fruit might scare him a bit.
Oranges, bananas, apples, and strawberries are choices you might try to start out.
