It is nutritive, no doubt about that, but my birds get a real good and varied diet in terms of produce and I was worrying over their getting the kale every day -even if it was in a small amount. Naida tends to have what humans would call a 'sensitive stomach' and would get diarrhea every now and then. Nothing serious, it usually went away in a day or so and it was just that every poop was too wet, not that she would poop more than usual - but it still got me thinking about the possibility that it was the small amount of kale in the gloop so I eliminated it and she has gotten better. They still get kale, but only fresh as their leafy green of the day and only once every other week or so.
In truth, the more I learn about parrots natural diets, the more convinced I become that their diets are not as nutritious as we think they should be and that it might very well be harmful to them to eat a super nutritious meal every time...
