Why
Strawberries are one of the better fruits for parrots: vitamin C, antioxidants, and a sugar level that stays reasonable. Wash them well.
How much is too much
Half a berry to one berry, 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.
