My 3 week old duckling and I where out in the garden I turned aroung and she had eaten a whole ripe chille pepper!
She got it down okay but when she did it I imedeatly picked her up and ran to the house!
Are chille peppers okay for her?!
I'll give her plenty of fresh water!

Any one?!!!

She should be fine, sans a fire in the hole when she poops ... don't worry, God made animals to know what is OK in nature to eat....

Thanks.
I feel much better now.

Ripe chili pepper is good for her. Birds don't seem to have the sensors to detect that sort of heat in food. Chilies are a regular part of the diet of parrot types and are included in really expensive parrot food.

I was so worried!
