Why
Cucumber is mostly water, which makes it useful for birds that do not drink enough. Low nutritional value but genuinely safe.
How much is too much
A slice or two, 2–3 times a week.
Treats and fruit should stay under roughly 20% of the daily bowl. The rest is pellets, leafy greens and a good chop.
