At the beginning of this post, it says jackfruit is toxic. Then the rest of the post says that jackfruit is fine as long as you remove the seed as this was confusing I will not be giving my parrot jackfruit tonight.😊
That for reaching out! I’ve updated the article and hopefully that removes any confusion that we’ve caused. If you are feeding your parrot ripe jackfruit flesh, it won’t be a problem. Just avoid the seeds.
