Picky Parrot Webinar – carbs and fruits for Cockatiel

how much carb and fruit is okay for my cockateil+
i was was told by my freind to not give my cockatiel frut in the morning. is that bad for him? does it spike his sugar levels?

Hi Rahima,

You should definitely limit how much fruit and carbs you offer. Cockatiels can be prone to diabetes. Most cockatiels don’t even like fruits, but some love the sweetness, and they will over indulge if you let them.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
