Feeding Egg Shells to Parrots
When we bought our Eclectus parrot several years ago, we extensively read up on how to care for this special bird. One author highly recommended feeding egg shells to pet parrots for the calcium they need. So one morning we gave our parrot a mixture of eggs and egg shells. Shortly after he ate, he was projectile vomiting. He was so ill we rushed him to the closest vet. The doctor had never heard of feeding egg shells to pet birds and told us not to do it again.

I'm curious if anyone else has had experiences with egg shells and pet birds?
