My cockatiel tried a dry oat (quaker) and like it. Is that ok?
Also, what about dry unsweetened cereal like cheerios? are they ok for
treats?
I was going to string some cheerios and popcorn up for a treat toy.
Lemme know what you think. . .

Those are great treats for your birds. You might also want to try some
strings of fruit and veggies along with the cheerios. It is sometimes
difficult to get birds to recognize that food is food! If they eat the
cheerios and you string some veggies next to them, they may give the veggies
a try too. However, never give avocado or rhubarb, or chocolate. Another of
my birds favorite is mashed up boiled eggs, mashed potatoes, corn and grated
carrot.

No raw beans of any variety ! Beans and peas of all varieties are legumes,
as are peanuts. In their raw state they all contain protein inhibitors which
inhibit the digestion of certain proteins, (trypsin & chymotripsin). These
inhibitors are largely eliminated by heat. So all legumes should first be
cooked before feeding them.
