- Food
- Bell pepper
- Category
- Vegetable
- Verdict
- Yes — with limits
- Amount
- A small strip daily.
Why
Red bell pepper has more vitamin A than most vegetables. The inner seeds and pith are edible and parrots enjoy digging them out.
How much is too much
A small strip daily.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
