Yes, they can.
Many bird owners add ground cinnamon to home-made bird bread or home-made bird oatmeal to feed their birds. Others place a cinnamon stick in the cage for the bird to occasionally nibble on.
Cinnamon has some benefits for birds:
- Aids digestion
- Helps kill E.Coli bacteria
- Helps eggs to develop healthily (good for bird breeders)
- Keeps the birds breath fresh
- Cinnamon sticks will be good toys
- Cinnamon sticks also help keep beaks healthy due to pecking
I wouldn't feed your bird too much cinnamon however, maybe add it to the diet once or twice a week. Since cinnamon aids digestion, if they have too much, it could make their faeces watery and messy.
Many people don't realise that there are three different species of cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon, Saigon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon. The best and healthiest cinnamon for birds is Ceylon cinnamon, since it is easy for them to digest and is favoured by them over the other two.
It is best if you use organic cinnamon, since some pesticides used in foods can be toxic to some birds. And you should never use cinnamon that has added sugar. Sugary diets will harm birds. Honey however is fine and healthy (you can add a little honey to home-made bird breads too).
Look up some recipes for home-made bird bread, which you can add ground cinnamon to. The majority of bird breads can be made simply with everyday bird food, milk and millet.
