Hi Rebecca,
Baby food won’t hurt your bird, but there are better things to feed him. Breeders will use baby food in their formulas, and sometimes as part of the weaning diet. But with an adult bird, fresh or frozen fresh veggies are better to offer. Some birds eat raw veggies, some prefer cooked. Veggies should be minimally prepared in order to retain their nutrients, with no added salt or sugar.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
Brenda
