Eggs in her diet  Reply with quote  

Are boiled eggs safe? Some say egg with shell is healthy in a Grey diet.
Should she be limited to the amount?
I have been moisterizing the beak with olive oil. It helps.

Yes, boiled eggs are safe & healthy for your bird, in a limited amount.
I've heard of some people that recommend feeding the finely crushed shells too.

yeah....
I have read that because Grey's need extra calcium in their diets, that just blending the shell into a nice fine crumble....and then chopping up the egg will be really good for them....

Yes I agree with others, eggs are great. I also feed mine with the crushed shell mixed in.
