Foods To Avoid Feeding Birds

There were a couple of foods that I was unaware was not good for my birds. I also found out that the pelleted diet recommended by the vet of the Oasis Sanctuary in Benson AZ has made a difference in a week with my female blue-headed pionus parrot Gracie. Her hormones seemed to have calmed down and we had the easiest day we've had in a long time - since the days started getting longer. I was concerned because she had laid 5 eggs in 3 weeks.

I do not understand the no peanuts. Peanuts are found in most pet bird food, and peanuts alone sold in pet stores for parrots. Our African Grey eays them all the time with no problems. My Hahns will take or leave them, not real crazy for them. On the dairy, our avian vet said it is okay to give them, as long as only in very small amounts and their digestive system tolerates it. I am wondering if Broccoli n cauliflower is ok? Seems like it would be too gassy for their little digestion system?
