Hi, Is it ok for my love bird to drink Del Monte naturally light super fruits juice...natural fruit juice drink made with red grapes, apple, pomegranate, cherries, aronia berries and blueberries...I only ask because I walked in the room to find my bird perched on top of my tall glass then hang upside down and drink my juice which made me laugh but then wonder whether this was ok for them...Thank you!

I find little birds like budgies burn off the calories easier. If you don't mind hyperbird syndrome, a few sips here and there can't be too bad.

The problem I see with it (they don't have them in the US and I can't find the list of ingredients anywhere) is that some of the fruits in it need to be organic -apples, been one of them as a 'regular' apple has more than 30 different chemicals (pesticides, antifungals, etc)
