Are hard boiled eggs good for cockatiels?

No. Hard boiled eggs are not a good food choice for cockatiels or other birds. While eggs can provide some essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, and phosphorus, they are also very high in fat. This can lead to weight gain and obesity, which can have a number of health consequences for birds, including heart disease, liver disease, and respiratory problems. Additionally, eggs can be a source of contamination for harmful bacteria, such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can cause severe illness or even death in birds.

Some people may believe that it is safe to feed hard boiled eggs to cockatiels if the eggs are thoroughly cooked. However, even well-cooked eggs can still be a source of contamination and they are still high in fat. It is best to avoid feeding your cockatiel any type of egg.

Here are some healthier food choices for cockatiels:

* Fruits: Apples, bananas, berries, cherries, grapes, oranges, peaches, pears, pineapple, watermelon

* Vegetables: Broccoli, carrots, celery, corn, cucumber, green beans, kale, lettuce, peppers, spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes

* Seeds: Canary seed, flax seed, hemp seed, millet, safflower seed, sesame seed, sunflower seed

* Nuts: Almonds, peanuts, walnuts

* Pellets: A high-quality commercial cockatiel pellet diet should make up the majority of your bird's diet
