Turkey

Caution Proteins

Plain, cooked turkey meat is generally safe for most pet birds in small quantities, but preparation matters enormously — seasoned, fatty, or processed turkey can cause serious harm. The high protein content is manageable for healthy birds in moderation, yet turkey should never replace a nutritionally complete avian diet. Owners should treat it as an occasional treat, not a staple.

Clinical note: Caution: plain cooked turkey only; seasonings, bones, and skin are hazardous
