Next stepWash green bell pepper well and serve it plain.

Plain preparation

Wash green bell pepper well and serve it plain. Remove pits, seeds, stems, peels, spoiled pieces, and anything moldy when relevant. Cut pieces small enough for the bird and remove fresh food before it spoils.

A sensible amount

Use a small fresh-food portion beside the normal species diet.

The main caution

Avoid salt, butter, oil, sugar, sauce, seasoning, and mixed table scraps. Do not let fresh food replace the species diet.

Stop offering it if

  • The bird consistently refuses it.
  • Droppings become temporarily looser after introduction.

Call an avian veterinarian if

  • Appetite remains reduced.
  • Activity drops.
  • Symptoms continue.
  • The bird seems unwell.
