Citrus Fruit
I've read that you should avoid giving your IRN cirtrus fruits - does it hurt them. I was given an IRN, named Rosie. He loves oranges - but I won't let him have any more until I know if this is true.

As long as you remove the pips there is no real problem with oranges (i dont know about other citrus). I have been warned numerous times about avocado (kills them apparently) and chocolate and dairy but otherwise (even chicken meat) most other things are ok.

I have always given my parrots a bit of milk...they love it. Especially when some bread has been soaked in it and its all gooey. That is part of what I use when I am hand rearing my babies. My Chookie loves nothing better than to stick his beak in a glass of milk and have his fill. I haven't seen any adverse effects. Chook also has eaten cheese and seems to really enjoy it (Colby cheese). The only things I don't feed my birds are avocado, chocolate and lettuce (apparently that is also bad for them??) They eat just about everything else. They LOVE passionfruit and get all excited when they know they are getting that. Trial and test everything. Like children, if they want it, they'll eat it.

i'm not 100% sure but i think it can be harmfull if your bird eats alot of the pellet mix you can get for birds it is high in vitimin C so extra vit C from citrus fruits can be bad, just like people too much vit C can be bad
as i said not 100% sure if this is true but i did read this on the net somewhere
