*Shrug* I'm new, so I'm really just a parrot, repeating what I've heard. There may be absolutely no adverse effects to in-cage feeding.
substrate ingestion usually isn't a problem, do you think that BP's in the wild never eat some dirt/whatever when they are eating?

there is a big difference between ingestion some substrate and ingesting an entire mouthful. yes it is something to watch out for... but it isn't enough to outweigh the benefits of feeding in the cage.
