BEANS

Most beans are safe however, thoroughly cook them to be safe. Anasazi, Black, Fava, Kidney, Lima, Navy, Pinto, and Soy especially have reports of being toxic and causing some digestive discomfort when uncooked. These should be limited if not avoided completely. Soy beans sprouted are ok but only when grown long enough. Lima beans, in my experience are ok as long as cooked well and not fed very frequently.

I really appreciate it. But remember, everyone! Never give a bird a seed from a fruit bearing tree: they are poisonous! This includes all pits.

I have not offered it to my bird because it contains seeds and i thought that was bad. Can someone verify that pomegranates are safe for my sweet bird?

Budgies differ as to whether they accept them more willingly cooked or raw. Raw is probably healthier. My budgies will eat grated raw carrots and raw chopped parsley. I usually take the seed out when I put the veggies in and give it a few hours. Mine also like chopped baked sweet potato.
