I think this would be fine to give as a once in a while treat, especially if Princess enjoys it! Sometimes birds can be a bit picky with new items, so you may need to offer it once or twice before she shows any interest in it. As long as the pellets remain her main diet, this should be great as a treat!

Rawhide has been and is used in some toys. Most birds (mine included) ignore it. It can be chewed, but monitor to make sure Maxcine doesn't ingest large bits. I wouldn't recommend rawhide from the local butcher.

Vitamin A is found in good concentration with foods like mangos, carrots, papaya and other orange-colored fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy greens also have high concentrations of Vitamin A. All of these are good additions to your parrot's diet. The sugary fruits will often be the favorites, so try not to feed too much of these. They will fill up on these and not eat the other nutritious, yet less appealing, foods that are available. You can start adding these to the diet anytime now. I did not know much about Dr. Harvey's bird food, so I had to do a little research. The first place I visited was the website and I came away with some issues about this food. The first thing I noticed was that the food was heavy with nuts and seeds. These foods are dense with fats that can be unhealthy for a bird to eat as their sole diet. I read the bio page and it claims that Dr. Harvey is a nutritionist with over 30 years of research in the product. However, none of the research is ava

Time, patience, and lots of treats. If you notice Curio has a favorite food, you can start by offering that favorite food only when you're interacting with him. IE, when you pet him, approach his cage, let him out, etc. This can help him to associate you with something fun/good and also make him more curious every time you come by to spend time with him. The same can also be done with toys he likes to play with. Sitting near them when he's out of the cage playing, and feeding a treat every time he comes close or shows interest in you can help teach him that you are safe to interact with and play around. If at any time Curiou becomes nervous or scared, stopping the activity and letting him calm down is best. From there, you can go back to the previous way he was OK with (IE just giving a treat from your hand but not petting) and work again from there.

Most pet stores will carry a balanced diet specific for parrots that offer a complete and balanced diet. You can also offer some fresh fruits and vegetables as an added treat. If you just got your bird home, he may still be adjusting to the new environment and so may be reluctant to be as social. Offering treats may help. If you do see any signs of illness, however, then a vet check up is best.
