Theres lots of safe improves you can feed this bird from a
regular kitchen stapel. such as cheerios, or any other
cerial that doesnt have sugar, best would be fresh vegies or
even fruit, frozen fruit and vegies too. Bread and meat
arent the best thing but its ok. You may have a hard time
getting it to eat anything that it doesnt already recognize
as food but if it sees you eating something it might be
tempted.
Some things you want to
AVOID
chocolate, caffien, avacodo, fruit seeds, salt,
Other non food things to avoid wuld be
scented candels, cooking with nonstick pans while the
bird is in the room w/ you, arisol sprays, pretty much
anything that has any sort of scent to it especially
cleaning chemicals.
