What fruit and vegetables can I give my lovebird and what fruit and vegetables I can't give him? He likes to eat apples and pears. Can you give me some healthy snacks recommendations? He needs to gain more weight in order to recover from his illness and is on medical treatment with antibiotics and vitamins and nutrients.

Thanks for reaching out about Kiki and including a photo. Vegetables are more important, including those that are red, yellow and orange in color, to provide a wide range of vitamins. Fruit are less important as mainly sugar, and should make up at most 10% of diet. Beans and legumes as a protein source is also important. Good luck.
