argentyne, re: baking for parrots--i do that as well (make a mini or two on the side for the parrots when i make appropriate muffins) but i have been told by several reputable sources to be sure to use the aluminum free baking powder.
also on the avoid list are alcohol (so go *very* easy on extracts or omit), chocolate, avocado, rhubarb, and spinach.
our two particularly love corn muffins with cranberries also, and anything with applesauce or yogurt in the recipe!
