Do you mean as a treat or as their main food?
Definitely not as their main food. I don't know as a treat. I would think yes. I know parrots can have a bit: http://birds.about.com/od/feeding/tp...tastytreat.htm My diamond doves have had oat groats in their finch treat that I give them once in a while with no ill effect. Oh just found this: http://books.google.com/books?id=AaI...ats%3F&f=false It says that oats can be fed but they are high in fat so it has to be as an intermittent thing.

Yes, but I agree, only as a treat. Or unless it is mixed with many other seeds/grains so it isn't their main food. Plain oatmeal is also good as a temporary formula until Kaytee or something better can be found to handraise babies with.
