Do you mean okra? I believe it's fine. I've given it to my parrots before, and they didn't get sick or anything. |

Yeah, I see why you would be concerned about the seeds.. I havn't heard anything about Okra being bad, but when my parrots tried it, they had quite a bit, and nothing happened to them, not even abnormal poop, so I'm pretty sure it's safe.
Actually I just did a quick google search, and I found several parrot related sites that actually recommend okra as part of a parrot's healthy diet  so there you go, you can share with them  |
