Minimize the risks

Poisonous plants for parrots

Toxic plants for birds

  • Familiarize yourself with the dangerous plants in your garden and banish poisonous plants inside the house or aviary. If you are truly a gardening freak, keep plants, seeds, bulbs, onions, and chemicals ( insecticides, pesticides, fungicides ) away from your parrot’s beak.
  • Never feed berries or berries from the wild or from your garden to your parrot without being certain that they are non-toxic.
    Never feed your birdseed to seed.
  • Always remember that heating or cooking a plant does not always destroy the toxic substance.
  • Never trust the wild birds in your area to tell you about non-poisonous plants or berries.
  • Never prepare household medicine for your parrot with native or cultivated plants.

Some symptoms of plant poisoning

Poisonous plants for parrots

Ingestion of poisonous plants can present itself in many forms in the parrot, ranging from diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, or other gastrointestinal problems, to disturbances of the nervous system, the immune system, or blood.

These poisonings can cause severe damage to the kidneys and liver and changes in blood chemistry. Certain toxins can cause a wide variety of dermatitis or skin reactions resulting in pain, redness, eye or nasal irritation, and even allergies which can escalate into breathing problems or severe irritation to the mucous membranes of the mouth or throat and cause death.

 

If you think your parrot has ingested a poisonous plant

  • Identify the plant.
  • Call your vet to find out what to do next and follow their advice to the letter.
  • Keep your bird warm, away from any additional stress.
  • Go immediately to your veterinarian and take the plant away so that the latter can properly identify it and be able to see how much the parrot has ingested.
  • If your bird has vomited, take a sample of the vomit to your veterinarian.
