Just wondering on members opinion in regards to feeding our parrots herbs, at this stage I have not fed my IRN any herbs from my garden, as I would never feed him anything I wasn't certain on.
I have done research on the net, and most herbs seem to be ok from what I have read, but the internet seems to be so full of controversial ideas and thought's, especially about parrots. For example most research states that parsley is good for our parrots, however I have read many times here not to feed our parrots parsley, same for meat.
Personally I would prefer to take the advice from experienced members here. So I am interested in your thoughts.
I don't have a lot of herbs growing, but here is what I have.
Sage
Rosmary
Parsley
Thyme
mint
lemon balm
Bay leaf
comfrey
Nasturtium
So what is ok and what isn't? Are these herbs beneficial to our birds, or is there really no point in bothering with them?
One other question, is a hot chilli I have growing, it is fine for human consumption, but I'm not certain if its ok for birds. Its called "Cha Cha Chilli" (Capsicum annuum f1) Its heat rating is 7.5 out of 10, although I'm led to believe this means nothing to birds. Here is a picture of the chilli, can anyone verify if its ok for a bird or not?
