Do sun flower seeds make parrots blind if thy eat too much, or is that another seed?
haven't heard that one.. but it's not sunflower seed. Mine get it freely within their diet, and have lived many many years so far!!
Reply:no I do noth think so however , parrots love them and they get hooked on them but ther are very bad for their liver and can kill him
Reply:Vitamin A is one of the fat-soluble vitamins. It is an antioxidant, helps in the growth and repair of tissues, and is important for proper functioning of the eyes, hearing, skin, bones, and mucus membranes.
Reply:Sunflower seeds will not blind your bird. I think you've heard a false rumor.





The Vitamin I believe you are looking for is Vitamin A, which is good for the eyes. I suppose if you didn't give your bird any Vitamin A or way, way too much, you could blind it, but that would need to be pretty extreme cases (like you were feeding it pills or something).





Here's some info on cockatiel diets (which can pretty much be applied to all small parrots):
