Parrots are not only interested in human food, but also dog food or cat food. As long as it is food eaten by creatures living in the same home, it wants to taste it. In the parrot's cognition, it believes that as long as it is food eaten by other creatures, it means it is absolutely safe and cannot be poisonous.

So we often say: Birds have the habit of picking up food. As long as there is food in front of them, birds will naturally take a bite.

The food that birds usually eat is not heavy-flavored. Of course, natural foods such as cereals do not contain added sugar or salt, and even pill-type pellet feed made with an emphasis on balanced nutrition has no taste.

However, human food has various flavors (added flavors). Parrots that have been addicted to human food may consider strange-tasting foods to be delicacies.

Although the number of taste buds in the mouth of birds is small, parrots can clearly distinguish various tastes and have clear preferences for food.

Baby birds are adventurers

Children less than one year old after birth Birds are just like human children, very adventurous. The food eaten during this period will affect the adult bird's preference for food.

When a baby bird eats human food by chance or deliberately, the baby bird will fall in love with this food at that moment. Then the memory pattern of delicious human food will be deeply imprinted in the brain of the young bird, and it will naturally want to eat human food in the future.

For the sake of the health of the parrot, owners must of course follow the instructions of the breeding book or veterinarian and do not feed the parrot human food. However, parrots do not know how to be patient and do not consider health or unhealthy. Some parrots will secretly break into the place where humans hide food and eat human food, and even start a food attack and defense war with humans.

If a human discovers and takes away the food at this time, the parrot will feel that only humans can eat delicious food, which is too much and get angry!

Human food is really bad

Feeding human food to parrots is really bad. However, there are indeed cases where lovebirds do not want to eat feed, and their weight plummets. They struggle at the gate of death and want to eat human food to survive. There are also cases where, under the supervision and guidance of veterinarians, food such as corn flakes and steamed toast cakes eaten by humans were used as life-saving medicines for parrots to eat, and then mixed with cereal or pill-type pellet feed, so that the parrots regained their health Feeding ability.
