Heavy Metals (Lead, Zinc, Copper): Birds can ingest toxic heavy metals from everyday items like paint, toys, and metal objects, which can lead to severe health issues if not treated promptly
Avocado: Parts of the avocado, especially the leaves, contain persin, which can cause serious health problems, including heart failure, in birds.
Caffeine: Caffeinated beverages can lead to increased heart rates and even cardiac arrest in birds, so it’s best to stick to water.
Chocolate: Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, both of which can be toxic to birds, causing symptoms like vomiting, seizures, and potentially death
Onions and Garlic: These foods can cause anemia and gastrointestinal irritation in birds, so they should be avoided entirely.
Salt and Fat: Excess salt and fatty foods can lead to serious health problems, including dehydration and heart disease, especially in smaller birds.
Fruit Pits and Apple Seeds: Seeds and pits from certain fruits contain cyanide, which can be toxic to smaller birds, so these should be removed before feeding.
Xylitol: This artificial sweetener can cause severe hypoglycemia and liver damage in birds, so it's best to keep it away from them.
Smoke and Other Aerosols: Smoke and fumes from products like cleaners, perfumes, and candles are harmful to birds and can irritate their respiratory systems.
Teflon: Nonstick cookware can release toxic fumes when heated, which can be fatal to birds, so it's important to avoid using it around them.
This list isn't exhaustive; and many potential toxins can be found around the home and garden. It's crucial to supervise your parrot while they're exploring to ensure their safety and well-being.
