Can parrots eat cabbage?

Yes — cabbage is safe and nutritious, and a whole leaf clipped to the cage makes great shredding enrichment.

Keeper's noteClip a whole leaf to the bars and let your bird shred it. Red cabbage may tint droppings — that's normal.

Why cabbage is good for parrots

Cabbage (green, red, or savoy) is a safe cruciferous green with vitamins C and K and fiber. Red cabbage adds anthocyanin antioxidants. It's low-oxalate, making it a better daily green than spinach or chard.
