Can parrots eat pear?
Safe
Yes — core and seeds removed.
- Food
- Pear
- Category
- Fruit
- Verdict
- Yes — with limits
- Amount
- 2–3 thin slices, 3 times a week, cored.
Why
Pear is gentle, high in fibre and low in acid. Same rule as apple: the seeds contain cyanogenic compounds, so core it first.
How much is too much
2–3 thin slices, 3 times a week, cored.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
