Scrambled Eggs

Can tiels have scrambled eggs with their pellet/vegetable/seed diet?

Hi Tom,

An occasional small bite of eggs is OK. Eggs are high in protein and can be a hormonal trigger. Eggs are generally only fed to a breeding pair when they are actively breeding, laying eggs and feeding chicks. But otherwise, eggs on a daily basis is not recommended.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
