Toxic foods — what you might not know

I just learned avocado is deadly to birds. I almost gave my budgie some last week!! What other common human foods are toxic that people might not know about? Let's make a list for newer bird owners.

It took me a while to figure this out with my bird too. Don't be too hard on yourself — you're learning!

If you're near Brampton, PetSmart on Queen St actually has a decent bird section. Better than most locations.

You're clearly a caring bird owner — the fact you're asking for help shows that. Your bird is lucky to have you.

Your bird is in good hands. The fact that you're researching this shows how much you care.

Update: took everyone's advice and things are improving. Luna is slowly coming around. This forum is the best.

I remember when my cockatiel went through this phase. I was so worried but my vet said it's actually really common.

My lineolated parakeet did this too! Turned out it was because of a change in routine or schedule. Once I addressed that, everything went back to normal.

My Noodle read this post over my shoulder and started nodding. I'm only slightly concerned.
