To cook pasta for yourself as a snack or for dinner time, do use salt to taste only as to avoid adding salt to the entire pan of pasta.īut that is not to say you can't help retain some sort of flavor, or more so quality - by simply retaining the moisture cooked into the pasta.
No seasoning of pasta then with salt or pepper for that matter, not even a little. However, understand large or small amounts of salt is indeed toxic to wild birds, as they are unable to metabolise salt. Pasta preparation is very important as you could forget about offering a small amount of pasta for backyard birds, thus leading you to enhance the bland pasta flavor.Īnd herein lies the problem, its a common occurrence for people to add salt to boiling water to season the pasta as it cooks. Simply cook up a small pan of pasta with water only, while allowing pasta to cool for a short while.Īnd there you have it, you can feed wild birds cold, cooked pasta but only in small quantity, on a rare occasion.
Pasta can still be fed to birds all the same, but only do so in a balanced way, by not offering only pasta, or pasta as a alternative to more important wild bird food groups, such as protein rich seeds or peanuts. It is safe to feed wild birds cooked pasta in your yard, but only do so in small quantities, as it only serves as a filler.īy that I mean pasta can offer little, valuable nutrients to birds so much like feeding bread to backyard birds - pasta as the same effects - which is very little in terms of health benefits. Go ahead and serve up small amounts of cooked pasta to backyard birds once in a while, but do still prioritize wild bird peanuts, seed mixes and mealworms. With that, never use pasta intended for microwaving or pasta intended for oven baking, as its coated in high in salt pasta sauces. Its therefore a toxic ingredient that must be left out of pasta all together. Salt is dangerous to wild birds as they are unable to metabolise salt. What you must prioritize is only cooking pasta in unsalted, boiling water. Pasta is merely a filler, so like bread for birds it only serves to fill up their bellies with food that offers no value - so offering birds pasta once in a while shouldn't do no harm.
