Foods That Are Toxic to Parrots | PARRONT TIP TUESDAY

[@djwinkelman3549]

Birds have died from fumes from nail polish remover, fumes from new carpeting, fumes from oven cleaner, fumes from oven liners. There is also teflon in self cleaning ovens, some blow dryers and irons. I threw out all of my teflon pans. Anything with fumes can pose a danger to birds, as their respiratory systems are so sensitive. That's why the miners would use a canary before they woud enter a coal mine. Thanks for posting this video, a lot of bird owners are not aware of these things!

[@theburgundynetwork3432]

Are teflon pans still dangerous for my bird even if he's far away from the kitchen? Like literally the opposite side of the apartment?

[@chrystals.4376]

The Burgundy Network I believe so.

[@VolkColopatrion]

yes. very. don't use it. air is going to travel even in a large house.

[@VolkColopatrion]

that bird was lucky to live.

[@theburgundynetwork3432]

VolkColopatrion Wow you're jumping to conclusions really fast. I was asking the question out of curiosity, I don't use teflon pans and haven't for years even before I had a bird. I was just wondering how dangerous it is. Yes my bird is lucky, because he's healthy, happy and in a good home, not because he's simply "alive". You don't need to have a shitty attitude like that, your first answer was plenty enough.

[@christinakuhns8683]

My cocktail Sunny liked to eat tomatoe stems, I did not know that it was poisonous untal one day I was extremely worried about how Sunny was acting. She was stiff and making funny noses and I was scared that she was not going to make it. The vet told me that I was poisoning her. And to let her eat and drink a lot to get the toxins out of her system. So I am so happy people like you are educating other bird owners. Thank you!

[@erinbrunk4210]

That was close. wow

[@sabamehraj8515]

How did u detoxified her?

[@alyssadiaz9386]

saba mehraj obviously im not her so i cant give you a for-sure accurate answer but from what she said and from what i know personally, it seems she basically just gave her lots to drink and eat so that the remaining stems could be flushed out of her system by all the new foods and fluids. also, i think its pretty safe to assume that she stopped feeding her the tomato stems as well😂 however im also curious if there was any sort of medication that the vet might have given her to help the process or if it was safe enough to just flush everything out like i said before.

[@sabamehraj8515]

Yeah.. i too think so.. and thank you

[@savvys_here]

I'm glad your bird is okay

[@TweetyMi]

I find it very important to talk about toxic food, because many poisoning can be avoided.

[@handydandycrafts]

I love your attitude, about teaching bird owners, not attacking them. I think about how much I've learned, and how happy I am with my little babies. If I didn't have that attitude and consideration from others, I would never have learned the things I have. Everyone has to start somewhere, so if we help them learn, their birds can find happiness faster. Most bird parents don't try to hurt their birds, they just haven't learned it yet.

[@scottreuse1487]

You rock girl. I just found you and have watched a few of your videos. I work for a Plumber that has 32 Parrots. He has been rescuing and taking care of them for along time. I will show him your videos, I think he will like very much. Thank you for sharing

Parents have a sulphur crested cockatoo, they've had for 40 years. Dad makes him toast every morning. He takes it in his foot and peers at it, if he can't see butter he turns it over...still no butter he chucks it on the floor of his cage...and won't touch it.Has butter, and has had -every day.

[@edwinzeferino7621]

Sue P is he healthy? I don’t think butter is very good for them but whatever floats boats. I hope he’s of she’s happy and healthy!

[@tycondero1647]

If he lives already for 40 years you are doing well I think, especially if your bird is happy and not feather plucking. In captivity mental health is just as important as physical health and for smart animals mental health might even be more important.

[@TheAverageGamer_CJ]

Birds are such awesome pets! But they are very good at hiding an illness, my little baby died a while ago. I was too busy at uni to notice :( make sure you all take good care of them and make sure you check for any new behaviour. Take it to the vets asap. What I'd do to get my little budgie back, she was a good girl.

Hi Marlene! I'm preparing to adopt a 60 year old sulfur crested and I've been doing lots of research. I'm so happy you touched on non stick pans as being toxic. I was wondering if you are familiar with the "green pan" it's like an alternative non stick pan. Is this toxic too? THank you so much for all your helpful tips! I can't wait to see more! :)

[@keararanck176]

Marie Marco Hey! I have a green cheeked conure and we still use non-stick pans. We just make sure that we don't burn the food and that we have a screen door open and a vent system going. And we don't let her eat any of the food cooked on the pans. Another thing we do is take her away from the kitchen when we are cooking. Not sure about green pans... But I would just make sure your house is well ventilated before cooking at all.

[@chaparama]

I chucked out all my non-stick cookware, teflon is so poisonous to birds. Why take the risk??? I use stainless steel and cast iron pans. And recently bought the vita verde green pan's so would be interested in other peoples opinions on them.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Hi Marie, congratulations on your new bird, I hope you two get on well and that you are is forever home:) my dad is an engineer and he told me that all non stick pans are basically another form of Teflon, even if they don't call it Teflon, it is just another generic form. He said that there is no such thing as a non stick metal so any pan with that black non stick part has harmful materials.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

I agree, especially if you want to share your food with the birdies!

[@DarkAgeDan]

Sunny and Goofy and me have been watching your videos for a while now. We love your voice and your amazing eyes. Thank you for your advice.

[@fallenstar4908]

Hey Marlene can you please answer this? Should I let my bird out? It’s been 4 weeks since I got my cockatiel, Smokie. He is unclipped. And if I should. How do I get him back in ( he is 0 tame by the way ) Looking for a reply from anyone. Thank you

[@zachturner8745]

TurquoiseBirbs I would say yes but there are a lot of factors. Not while you are cooking or while the burners are still hot. Not while windows are open or people are going in and out a lot. Generally, not in a situation where any danger is around. If you have a dog or a cat then this is not a good situation. I am a clip wings kind of person but mine are not clipped at this time. Just use extreme caution and always try to give them the step up command to bring them out of there cage. And my big no no is absolutely don’t let them hang out on top of there cage. They can not be above the height of you. It’s some kind of dominance thing. Have a lower play perch or play tower or something for them to be on. Just my thoughts!!!!

[@zachturner8745]

Mine are different personalities though so check with others. I have a yellow naped and blue fronted Amazon’s.

[@fallenstar4908]

Zach Turner I have no control over this cuz I’m just a kid. All in all my grandpa does not want the bird out or inside the House. He seems to do MUCH happier than the petsore. He was in a tiny micro traveler cage with two others. But now he is in the biggest cage they sold. (I bet you would still say it’s small) but he’s hanging around outside in his cage enjoying the budgies in the huge cage and the scenery he gets to enjoy. Glad I could give him a better life. “If I just had more privileges, he would have been the buddy of my life... 😔😔

[@graceandhaezel5197]

Lil Feast I'd say no, find a way to get him clipped and maybe start slowly hand taming him. make sure to watch videos on how to tame a parrot and build up their trust. possibly try in a very safe situation (closed doors, windows, etc.) no other pets in the room if you are going to try (:

[@user-ub7xo3qz2b]

This video is very valuable, so thank you for making it. A lot of bird owners tend to forget what is toxic to their birds so this video will make an excellent bookmarked resource for them. Thanks once again.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for tuning in to these parrot videos. It means a lot!

[@davescheer5038]

Marlene, what wood perches are safe for our birds ? And how do we know what kind of wood is safe a lot of the bird toys and perches they sell at pet stores are made of pine , the perches I use now are made of dragon wood they are a hard wood and last awhile as ( mad max ) my angry rescue umbrella cockatoo - aka the feathered beaver chews stuff up pretty quick ,any thoughts on how I can gain his trust ? He's scared and will bite if I get to close .

Very interesting, I'm allergic or can't digest all caffeine, (makes my heart race) soda, beans, & onions, salt. I don't do well w dairy. I CAN & do love avocados! Do I have a bird's sensitive digestive system? WOW this is eye opening!

Great video!!! I was constantly having to read up on this every time I would go to a store and see something I wanted and think well wait is it bad for my bird? Thankfully I do not eat Avacados I cant even spell it LOL.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

I know what you mean, even just remembering that they can eat apples but not the seeds can be hard. I want to think they would instinctively know what is bad for them but unfortunately they have a habit of chewing everything so it's hard to see if they are chewing or swallowing.

[@rmcbeigh]

it would be nice for sure. Oli tends to shy away from things that are good for him and wants to try and get a piece of stuff he shouldn't. but it just means I eat better as well.

If my kitchen is not near my bedroom and my roommate does on occasion use a non stick pan . Having a bird in my room and not bringing it out near the kitchen won't hurt the bird right?

[@dellenaenderdragonwofanima5977]

You can give a bird gum tree wood especially if you have a bird that lives in Australia like a cockatiel or cockatoo because They love chewing and ripping wood a part and it gives them something to do. And I live in Australia and I have a cockatiel called Casper and she is a albino.

Pro tip to increase calcium: shells of hard boiled eggs ground to a fine dust. My parrot shop includes 1 shredded carrot and a half, about a quarter or raw cauliflower, handful of dill, 4 jalapeño peppers and one leaf of romaine lettuce and finely chopped raw eggplant. To all that I add two hard boiled eggs as a binding agent and pulverize the shells to a fine dust.

I have some questions for you. My blue and gold macaw Quigley is 2 soon. But my question is how to get him to stop trying to regurgitate? Any time I try to give him head scratches or any type of interaction and he immediately starts trying to regurg. I have tried just walking away when he does it but it doesn't seem to phase him. He also tries to put my fingers in the corner of his mouth where his soft pads are and he applies pressure and starts bobbing away. Any advice to discourage these behaviors? It's pretty much the only thing he is interested in. Another question. When I ask him to step up on my arm, he willingly complies, but he always puts 1 foot on, pinches my arm with his beak (sometimes very hard) and then he puts the other foot up. Any advice there? And last question. I've been working with him to fly from my arm to his cage at varying distances. He's doing great except I can not get him to fly from his cage to me yet. Any tips? I saw your video where rocky flew away and that really struck a chord in me. So glad it ended well!

karin rezkkk You shouldn't use newspaper to much because of the lead or ink that is in the newspaper 😊 I have really wanted a budgie too!!

[@oliviaw6465]

Just a warning if you get another budgie if they do not bond with each other you will have to buy another cage for them and also be careful when pairing two birds together because some birds (even the small ones like budgies) have killed its "mate" or friend. I am no expert but Marlene did make a video about this topic if you wanted to know more. I think it was called "should I get my bird a mate? 13 things to know before getting a second parrot." Not all birds hate each other and I'm not saying that you shouldn't get another budgie, just maybe do some research if you haven't already on how to bond two birds together Have a wonderful day! :) Olivia

[@oliviaw6465]

I forgot to mention if you do only end up getting one, make sure you spend a lot, (and I mean a lot) of time with him so he doesn't get lonely or sad and that could cause him to become depressed or start plucking his feathers. Just make sure you educate yourself before adopting a budgie or any kind of bird for that matter. By the way I don't mean this in a bad way in fact you may already know this just thought to help you out the best way that I can. :)

Or like if food is cooked on there? My room also is about 6 yards away from the kitchen and I normally keep my door closed and fan on, would the parakeet be safe in my room?

[@ElseeO]

Can't you cut the fruit/vegetable/food (i'm talking about fruit mostly) into slices will it still effect them? If you take the pit out, and then you cut the like cherry pit or cut the cherry starting from the top then slicing around the side, bottom, other side, then meeting the top where you made the first slice and sticking your knife in the pit or use a silverware or your finger to get the pit out depending on how hard it is/ as big as a avocado or peach or mango. Will this still effect you bird? Not that I have one I really want one though!

[@Haizme]

Avocado is terrible for your bird. Because the skin and oily pit have toxins that can get in the flesh. However apples can be sliced, same for cherry's. Just keep the seeds away from them. I give my chickens a bit of apple or cherry sometimes (although mine prefer zucchini, tomato and spinach over fruits)

why take the chance? the oil is going to be all through out and you don't know if it's cleaned properly and you can make a mistake. best to avoid it all together. Why take a chance on anything except a slot machine or a poker table?

[@another5293]

Can birds have any sort of natural sugars? Like ones in fruit or honey?

[@mayafernandez6054]

Can birds eat plantain chips because I know this chip brand that does not have any salt or sugar so is it safe for birds

[@LylaDagger]

Hey. I have two white cockatoos and I've been wondering if garlic is alright. I've been told it isn't. I was also told certain beans (even cooked) are bad for birds. Anyone?

[@Armag90n]

[@Melissaloveless6154]

[@ZelaHealthMizo]

Thanks for your video

[@megashaz10]

What about Papaya and its seeds ?? Is it safe to give them ??

[@mary-margaretlovato6230]

What type of pots and pans would be bird safe? Since a lot of them that I've seen have only been non stick

[@DizzyDoob]

Mary-Margaret Lovato cast iron and stainless steel.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

True! Thank you for being a great Flock Talker!!

[@cindyjonescancerdlayer2021]

Doob what about ceramic pans?

[@harryhathaway1086]

I hate to say this but my sulphur-crested cockatoo loves Ellios frozen Pizza. I give him a one-inch strip once a week . He eats the cheese and sauce off the crust then drops it. It doesn't seem to hurt him I don't know about long-term but I don't think once a week is going to hurt him. I also give all my birds scrambled eggs once a week and I fortify that with all kinds of fillings like couscous quinoa crumbled up Cheerios whole wheat no sugar, I also will take Supreme parrot pellets and grind them up and mix them in scrambled eggs. I also make pancakes for my birds from whole wheat and eggs mixed with other grains and cereal they love it.

[@flyingzebracakes]

If birds are kept in a completely separate room far from the kitchen, and the kitchen is well ventilated, can non-stick pans be used or should they really be avoided altogether?

[@DizzyDoob]

flyingzebracakes just be sure to have it ventilated and keep your Bird in a different room and you should be good. but why take the chance? maybe have a outside cage for your Bird and whenever u cook just take him outside. My birds love to be outside.

[@flyingzebracakes]

Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely keep the outdoor cage in mind.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

I truly am terrified of non stick pans. I wouldn't want to wonder if it was my pan, if anything ever happened to the bird. The other thing is guests will never take the same care you will so if you have visitors or in-laws it's just better to be safe.

[@flyingzebracakes]

Thank you for responding! I have a year or more to plan for a potential bird if I do decide I'm ready for that commitment, so I will definitely keep this in mind and cycle out my non-stick pans for better options as I am able to.

[@baconandeggs9113]

@@MARLENEMCCOHEN it also has to be heated in high temperatures. Like around 560°f/300°C. It stilk should be ventilated.

[@abdullaalbouchi]

I gave my bird Casco African one a small peice of a sugary cake will anything happen?

[@de4th_z0ne29]

What? I gave my African grey sun flower seed with salt (cuz u know he loves to be a human he just copies us and when we eat sun flour seeds with salt he wants it and comes to us and ya)

[@taylort8133]

When you say no nonstick pans do you mean dont cook with them because of fumes or something, or dont put them where they have access?

[@RealTraumaHealing]

Hey. My bird stole a Clove of garlic. I panicked because I couldn't get hold of him. He ate a fair bit. Is garlic ok or not?

[@samanthaleigh9293]

Hi what pan do you recommend because I am not sure what to use which makes me afraid to cook for him

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Stainless steel is best:)

[@PM-vv6md]
