Please note that with all fresh fruits, vegetables, and other foods, your parrot should not be given anything with salt, sugars, chocolates or caffeine. All fruits and vegetables should be washed with a fruit and vegetable cleaner from your local supermarket. It really does make a difference! Some fruits and vegetables such as apples, strawberries, and cantaloupe may contain extremely high amounts of pesticides. This can vary depending on the time of year and country that the foods are being imported from. It is strongly recommended to feed organically grown foods.  Caution: Remember to remove any uneaten fresh food from the cage before it spoils.
