Just raw regular cinnamon sticks? I wasn't aware they could chew/eat that! Is it safe?

I think it is safe...but lets have someone double check that

Cinnamon sticks are a healthy toy/snack for birds. Ground cinnamon can also be sprinkled on their foods for a little treat.
I too did not know if they were okay to eat raw. Sounds good to me.
oh yeah, birds love the spice, it's perfectly healthy, and a great foot toy!
Really? We'll have to get some here. Destructibe foot toys are much beloved here in the birdroom!
Yeah they came in a pack of nuts that i got from golden feast and they make the house smell oh so good too. and buddy now loves them. specially if i put them stickin outta his atom ball toy.
wow I didnt know it was ok! I am definitely going to get some for my babies.

Can budgies eat like Cayenne? Halepeno?

Rich: I saw someone say on here that nutmeg is BAD!!! So just to be safe, don't give it...... I can't find where I saw it tho, I'll keep looking....
On the other hand, I'm going to go and give Boogie a cinnimon stick right now!!!! I'm sure that he'll have fun with it!

It was under the thread (in this section) for birdie bread flavors....

Wow, I got cinnamon sticks AND star anise at home I never useI never even imagined the birds would like them
Mine eyed the starry-woody things (anise still in shells) with great suspicion...
But I just left it there.
They'll get used to it!
But REALLY glad to know about the cinnamon sticks. I'll give them those immediately! Thanks.

Did anyone come across the list of spices and/or how often they can be given to the birds?

Thank you for pointing the cinnamon sticks out. This is the first treat I've tried that my budgie likes. He won't touch anything besides seed.
Wow! sounds cool! i'll try it!
On a similar note...I was feeding my birds some jalapenos when my son walked in and noticed. He was pretty impressed. I told him they do not have saliva which is what makes the pepper seem hot to us. He replied "Bet it hurts comin back out though" I didn't know what to say and stopped feeding the peppers. Any comments?
