Raw apples with the skin contain Protein,
Vitamin A, C, D, E, K, B6, B 12, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate,
Pantothenic Acid, Choline, Betaine, Minerals, Calcuim, Iron,
Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese,
Selenium, and Fluoride. Sounds like a wonderful food for your bird
and they are but you must take out the seeds. Why because
they can be toxic to your bird.
Lurking in the seeds are danger for your bird. They
contain poison, in the form of amygdalin, a cyanide and
sugar compound which can be broken down in the body into the highly
poisonous comp Apple seeds if swallowed whole are not harmful
at all as the seed passes through the body unnoticed and intact the danger occurs
when they are broken open or chewed to release the harmful
cyanide. Because a bird will crack open a seed to eat
it this makes apple seeds very dangerous for them and always wash all
fruits well to remove harmful pesticides that may be present.
