shouldn't be a problem as long as they are quick enough to get out of a Parrotlets way Gail.

I normally just wash them under a running tap to clean of any dirt and dust :)

Normally I would say don't worry about the insects as they're good protein for them, but I was just thinking that some modern pesticides are very slow acting & I don't know what would happen if a small bird ate a bug that had been exposed to a pesticide :question: It would probably be ok, but maybe you should wash them just in case.
