Quick Answer
Watermelon is safe for your Birds. Your bird can safely eat watermelon as long as you follow proper preparation guidelines.
Research supports that watermelon, when served properly, is well-tolerated by most birds. Watermelon is 92% water and contains lycopene, the same antioxidant found in tomatoes. When included as part of a balanced diet, watermelon contributes beneficial compounds to your bird's meals. Proper preparation matters: wash, peel if needed, remove pits/seeds, cut to size. As with any dietary addition, consulting your veterinarian is always a wise step.
