Frequently Asked Questions

Treats should be given in moderation, about 10-15% of their total diet. They are best used as rewards during training or for enrichment rather than a daily staple.
What types of treats are best for African Greys?
African Greys enjoy a variety of treats, including dried fruits, nuts, millet sprays, and vegetable-based treats. It's important to choose treats that are natural and free from artificial additives.

Yes, treats are an excellent motivator and can help reinforce positive behaviours during training sessions. Use them to reward your African Grey for following commands or learning new tricks.
