We give them to our lot - not all of the parrots eat them but most do once they get used to the idea. Two of our greys would kill for a chicken thigh bone!! Offer the bigger leg bones only and leave a little meat on. Our greys eat the meat then split the bone the whole length to get the marrow out......and they love it

I love Biggles! I don't want to be a wet blanket, since all of your birds obviously love the chicken bones, but I've heard and read that you aren't supposed to give chicken bones to kids and pets because they splinter easily and can cause internal injuries. Do you do anything in particular to keep this from happening, or is this just not a big deal? I missed this thread, apparently...

I've always thought chicken bones were not safe for dogs due to splintering but have not heard anything about them being unsafe for birds? Birds just scoop the marrow out and eat that don't they? I can't remember ever giving my daughter a chicken bone to chew on either so I reckon I'm safe there too

I can't remember ever giving my daughter a chicken bone to chew on either so I reckon I'm safe there too Actually my parents gave chicken bones to my older siblings (just to chew on) when they were teething I believe. (obviously before they started talking about the splinter stuff) When they tried it with me, apparently I crunched down on the bone and actually ate it... so I only got them once. :)Now that I think about it dogs and kids do gulp things down a lot more than parrots... Good thing Biggles and the rest can't read the forum, they'd probably be mad at me for trying to take away their treats.
