What kind of “people food” is OK for my conure?
Anything that would be considered “healthy people food” is OK for a conure. For example, foods that are low in fat, sugar, and salt are OK. Don’t feed your conure avocado (the skin and bruised flesh are poisonous), chocolate, or caffeine it is dangerous for them to eat even a small portion of these foods. Stay away from junk food such as potato chips and foods with refined sugar and flour. It’s OK to let your conure sample what you are eating, as long as it’s healthy for them and they are eating their fresh greens, veggies, pellets, and fruit. As with humans, moderation is the key. Make sure they are getting plenty of variety and the occasional bit of human food will be OK. But be careful they aren’t turning their beaks up at the good stuff in their own bowls in favor of what’s on your plate.
