What foods are safe and unsafe for my parrot, and are peanuts okay?

Question

I have a yellow crown amazon parrot, and I want to provide him with a variety of foods, such as vegetables and berries, but I don’t know what is good and bad for them. Help please! My parrot LOVES peanuts, like when i feed him his nut mix, he always goes for the peanuts first. Pet's info: Bird | Parrot | Female | unspayed

Peanuts are great treats, but they are fatty and can lead to obesity. Try to limit them, if possible. Boomer can eat pretty much anything that you eat with a few exceptions. Do not feed chocolate, avocado, caffeine or anything with alcohol. She can eat grapes, blueberries, strawberries, pitted cherries, banana, pineapple and apple (no seeds). Limit fruit to no more than 10% of the diet. Too much may cause loose droppings. Acceptable vegetable include corn, peas, green beans, other cooked beans, potatoes (cooked), broccoli, zucchini, kale and sweet potato. She can have cooked grains and cooked plain pastas. Scrambled egg makes a great weekend treat. This list is by no means all inclusive. Other lists can be found online using the search engine of your choosing.
