- Verdict
- Yes — with limits
- Amount
- A quarter of a fresh fig, once or twice a week.
Why
Fresh fig flesh is safe and one of the better fruit sources of calcium, which matters for parrots on seed-heavy diets. Skip dried figs: concentrated sugar and often sulphured.
How much is too much
A quarter of a fresh fig, once or twice a week.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
