Has anybody feed their bird those grapples? I was eating one and handed my bird a couple pieces without thinking about it. I assume they are ok since birds can have both grapes and apples but just checking if anybody y knows for sure, I don't want to give my :gcc: something bad for him.

" A Grapple is a plastic-encased apple that has been drenched in artificial chemicals that taste like grape Kool-Aid. "

I would not feed this to my bird !

Thanks for the definition, I had no idea what it was and you saved me looking it up.

I wouldn't feed it either. No way.

Thank you for taking the time to look it up I thought it was just a cross between a grape and an apple too, it's a bummer it's not, because they are soo delicious... I will avoid feeding this for now on, thanks again. :thumbsup:
