Bad Foods for Macaws
02 Sep 2008
Macaws are very good eaters, and are seldom picky about the foods that they eat. With that said, however, while your Macaw may enjoy many foods, there are some foods that are not suitable for your Macaw. Some are even quite deadly – but he doesn’t know that, and he will eat them anyway if they are made available.
The first food that you should always avoid is Avocado. Avocado is considered to be toxic for all birds, as it causes considerable, irreparable liver damage. Don’t just avoid feeding your Macaw Avocado fruit. Avoid giving him access to the trees, to the branches, and to the leaves as well.
Your Macaw will enjoy all other fruits. However, fruits that have pits should have the pits removed first, and fruits that have seeds should have the seeds removed. All fruits should be washed well – and even scrubbed, and then cut into small pieces for your Macaw to enjoy at his leisure. If possible, always choose organic fruits.
