Yes — cooked or raw artichoke is safe and nutritious, and peeling the leaves is excellent natural foraging.
Keeper's noteSteam it and let your bird dismantle it leaf by leaf. Serve plain — skip the butter, salt, and dips artichokes usually come with.
Why artichoke is good for parrots
Artichokes are non-toxic and bring fiber, antioxidants, and minerals. The tightly packed leaves are perfect foraging — birds work through layers to reach the tender heart. Steam to soften, or offer raw for more of a challenge.
How to serve it
Steamed plain (no butter/salt) or raw for foraging.
