Cockatiels are cute little parrots that can learn to say a few words and spend most of their day imitating their sounds. They can be quite entertaining, so it's only natural that you want to say thanks with an invitation, and there are many high-quality options. If you have one of these birds and want to know what foods they will enjoy, keep reading as we give you several healthy options to choose from that we think That your cockatoo will like it.

Top 15 Natural Cockatoo Treats:

1. Carrots

Finely and Washed chopped carrots are the first tasty treat on our list. This food is full of healthy vitamins that can boost your bird's immune system.

2. Leafy greens.

There are several leafy greens that your cockatoo will enjoy, including kale, romaine lettuce, and dandelion greens. All of these can provide your pet with plenty of vitamins and minerals. We recommend avoiding too much iceberg lettuce, as it will not be as healthy, but your bird may enjoy it. Also, keep your cockatoo away from parsley and spinach but the rest are fair game.

3. Dry fruits.

Dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, prunes, and more have a long shelf life and will provide your pet with a snack that he enjoys a little bit more. You need to make sure that none of your dried fruits contain sulfur, or you risk health problems like ulcers and anemia. You'll also need to limit portion sizes, so your pet doesn't eat too much sugar.

4. Peaches

If you don't like dried fruit, peaches make a great substitute because of their high vitamin and moisture content. We have found that most of our birds love peaches and will choose them over other treats.

5. Grapes

Grapes are another great fruit option, and they're available year-round, so they're easy to find. You can feed your birds any color, but make sure you remove any seeds first.

6. Beans

Beans are a great treat for your bird because most varieties contain plenty of protein to give your pet energy and the building blocks for strong muscles. However, you need to make sure you cook all the beans to remove the hemagglutinin, which can be dangerous to birds like cockatoos.

7. Apples.

Apples are a soft and delicious treat that your cockatiel will love. This fruit is sweet, but not so much that you have to avoid indulging in it. To remove the pesticides you will need to wash the apple thoroughly and cut it into small pieces that your bird can handle.

8. Bananas.

Bananas are a fruit soft that is high in potassium and other minerals and vitamins that can help strengthen your pet's system immune. Your pet can eat all the parts, peel and all!

9. Tomatoes.

Tomatoes are a very low-calorie fruit that can help your cockatiel stay hydrated. It makes a great summer treat, and most birds love it. The only downside is that there is so much moisture that many birds make a big mess eating it.

10. Pears

Pears make a great fruit snack, but they can also be helpful if you need to hydrate your pet. This can be a useful trick if your bird isn't drinking enough water, as it has a high moisture content. Remove the seed and cut the pear into small pieces before feeding it to your pet.

11. Sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are a favorite of our birds and are rich in vitamin A, an essential nutrient. You can feed them cooked or raw but birds our seem to prefer them cooked.

12. Mango.

Mangoes are a popular fruit to give cockatoos because they seem to enjoy it quite a bit. It's high in sugar, so you'll find it infrequent, and you'll need to cut it into small pieces to make it easier to eat.

13. Kiwi

Kiwi is another tropical fruit that can help add variety to your bird's diet, and it makes a great treat at times, but like mangoes, it's high in sugar that can cause health problems. It can if you provide it too often.

14. Strawberries

Strawberries are a great treat with a little less sugar than kiwi or mango, yet still provide your pet with a treat they enjoy. We recommend cutting strawberries into small pieces before giving them to your pet.

15. Zucchini

Zucchini is a great low-calorie treat that many cockatiels enjoy. This adds variety and some protein to your bird's diet.
