Dangerous foods for parrots

Chocolate

Dangerous foods for parrots: Theobromine in chocolate is a highly toxic alkaloid for many animals, including parrots. Theobromine can cause cardiac or respiratory arrest quickly after ingestion.

Dark chocolate (like Baker’s unsweetened) is more toxic at 15 mg of theobromine per 100 grams than milk chocolate at 1.5 mg of theobromine per 100 grams. Either way, if you care about your parrot, reserve these treats for yourself.

Potatoes

The potato is not toxic, it is certain parts of the latter that are: the peel and the green parts that are sometimes found on potatoes.

These green parts contain solanine, a very toxic alkaloid that forms on potatoes overexposed to light. This alkaloid affects the central nervous system if ingested in significant quantities.

You also have to remove the germ and the eyes from the potatoes, because the solanine accumulates there. Solanine is not destroyed during cooking.
