how often can ag have garlic sticks polly loves them i do only use them for treats as ive tried everything else but she just throws them  on the floor the reason im asking is are they very fatty and better as treats or in dish

There is no evidence that garlic is beneficial to parrots, and because its safety has not been studied widely in birds/parrots it should best be avoided.

now i read somewhere recently that fresh garlic can be used occasionally (only small slivers) when making foods for our birds. i must look it up

do you mean garlic sticks as in parrot food chris?
i was thinking of ordering it but wasnt sure if charlie would like them, but if polly loves them i might give them a try

I've just had a delivery from Scarletts. I was going to ask the same question. I have given them as a treat when i have my afternoon cup of tea and biscuit. I tried one (or two) myself as Boomerang wouldn't try one when i put them in his bowl . There really nice. Much more tasty than the pellets, they taste like dry rivita

There are lots of articles out there about feeding garlic to birds, however, some vegetables like onion, garlic and avo have a very different effect on animals than on humans and can actually be toxic to animals.

There is an extensive thread about garlic on this forum, probably in the diet section, also raising the concern about its safety in birds.
