- Verdict

- Amount
- A small floret daily.
Why
Broccoli is high in vitamin K, vitamin C and fibre, and the florets are a natural foraging shape. It is one of the most reliable vegetables to get a parrot to accept.
How much is too much
A small floret daily.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
