57: Bird Seed Is Junk Food

Listen on

Episode notes

Birds love seed like humans love Snickers, and the analogy doesn’t stop there. Foods high in fat and sugars trigger similar neural pathways to addictive drugs, but like drugs of addiction they are not good for you (or birds).

Nicole and Jez discuss seed addiction in parrots and how to help them eat healthier.
