Hard boiled eggs.

[Rifty]

So I know hard boiled eggs are a good sorce of protien for birds. What I want to know is, is the yellow part good for birds? Or should I just give them the whites?

I'm sorry, I'm off topic, but... OMG cutest pic of Popo ever!! :wub:

Well egg whites are very high in protein while the yolk has a very high fat content.

I don't think it would harm your Fids if you give them a mixture of both :)

We put the entire hard boiled egg, shell included, in a grinder and then give it all to the birds. The shell provides calcium. :thumbup:

[Rifty]

Yeah it was the whole, high in fat part that had me worried. That and cholesterol, not like I think they have to worry about that with all the exercise they get of flying around trying to land on peoples heads.

I agree with Elise, Popo is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

I give both to both of mine but Ollie (Tiel) eats a lot more white than yolk. I give the shells too.

Oooh, Popo is gorgeous... isn't that the topic??:D:rotflmao:

My birds eat the whole egg (I usually serve it well scrambled). They don't eat large quantities, so I don't worry about the fat/cholesterol. Especially with the good benefits of all parts of the egg. :)

Robin just made me think of it, i give mine eggs in the form of hard boiled, scrambled, omlettes and poached.

Man, Sue - I'm thinking Toto and Ollie eat better than me! What time is breakfast tomorrow?:rotflmao::roflmao2:

The birds around here are well spoiled, Dave spends a fortune on the wild birds outside too!

We have the best selection of breeds in the area.
Next doors chickens even come over to share:rofl: :rofl:

Popo is a beauty...:heart: oh and I feed my Canary the whole egg, and he's been eating it for over 20 years :drool2:

offering both the yolk and the whites is fine..but with anything I think you can over do it, I mean smaller birds don't require as much fat and protien in their diet as other birds so some hard boiled egg once or twice a week won't hurt..I offer a bit of hard boiled egg to all my birds at least once a week..
