Some of the little birds are pretty much vegetarians, but most larger parrots are omniverous feeders of opportunity. My grey's glee when cracking bones convinced me that he would happily be a carrion eater in the wild if he got half a chance. The vet tsk-tsked about the chicken bone marrow because of high fat content, but allowed as how it should be no problem as a special treat. (Yeah, right -- I want to see *her* sit within three feet of that bird without sharing whatever-ya-got.)
