Jeffrey absolutly loves sharing a bit of my muffin with me, he begs for it!

Muffins are high in butter, which is not good for parrots...
In saying that...we have to be realistic and keep things in perspective

A few nibbles every now and then as a small treat is certainly not going to do great damage...
To draw an example...if we eat chocatate, mcdonalds and kfc as normal food we will get sick, as a treat every so often it is not a problem.

hehe wel said Steps! That's one reason I don't go away from home when I am on holidays from work - one tends to eat out for every meal!

I give my kiki's & budgies bits of bread etc leftover from lunch & they love it! I just treat it like chocolate for me - only a little now & again.
