Yes — cherry flesh is safe and most parrots love it, but the pit contains cyanogenic compounds and must be removed first.
Keeper's notePit first, always. Expect spectacular red beak and face stains — and red-tinted droppings afterward, which are normal.
What to watch out for with cherries
Like apple seeds, cherry pits contain compounds that release cyanide when crushed and digested — and a big-beaked parrot can crack a pit you'd assume was safe. The flesh itself is nutritious and perfectly fine.
How to serve it
Remove the pit before offering — never trust a beak not to crack it.
Halve them for smaller species like budgies and lovebirds.
The same rule covers peaches, plums, apricots, and nectarines: flesh yes, pit no.
