Aussie Finch Forum

Can you feed raw eggs to finches, and parrots? I was just wondering, because I saw someone feeding their finches raw egg, so I was wondering if its ok?

I boil mine and then they only have access to the egg for a short time ...egg + warmth = salmonella or some other funky cootie .

Doesn't mean it can not be done but I don't give mine raw egg ...after all it didn't do Rocky any harm , no hang on he has got that droopy mouth thing happening.

I wouldn't feed raw egg, too risky. I boil the backsides out of them as it is and then I nuke the shells for 2 more minutes!

Birds will eat raw egg....but I wouldnt feed it...good chance of disease....I do exactly as Bluebutterfly does...hard boil and nuke the shells.....
