Training & BehaviorAre honey sticks safe for hand-feeding my bird? Or are seeds better?
Thanks for your question about Zucchini. I am not sure if I completely am understanding your question, so if I don’t address it completely please re-post. Honey sticks are often very appealing to our pet birds, but unfortunately they are not good for them. They contain a large amount of sugar that can result in gastrointestinal upset and can also result in bacterial and yeast growth in the intestines. I would recommend using a different high value treat item for training and socializing purposes. You mentioned seeds, and those can be very useful. I hope that helps to answer your question, and I wish you luck!
