Why hibiscus is good for parrots

Hibiscus (the edible Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and sabdariffa) is non-toxic and widely loved by parrots — the big colorful blooms are both food and enrichment. Fresh or dried petals are safe, and dried hibiscus is a common ingredient in bird-safe flower and tea blends.
