Here's a list of fruit seeds that are toxic to parrots:
1. Apple seeds: Contain amygdalin, which releases cyanide when ingested.
2. Apricot kernels: Also contain amygdalin, releasing cyanide.
3. Cherry pits: Contain amygdalin, toxic to parrots.
4. Peach pits: Similar to apricot kernels, they contain amygdalin.
5. Pear fruit + seeds (Avocado) : May contain small amounts of cyanide compounds. AVOID THIS FRUIT TOTALLY.
6. Plum pits: Contain amygdalin, potentially toxic.
7. Tomato seeds: Can cause irritation of digestive system. Avoid as well.
8. Grape seeds and Citrus seed. Can be bitter and cause mildly irritating. Avoiding is safe.
When offering fruits to your parrot, be sure to:
- Remove seeds and pits.
- Wash fruits thoroughly.
- Introduce new fruits gradually.
- Consult a veterinarian for personalized dietary advice.
Keep your feathered friend safe and healthy!
