What Foods are Poisonous to BirdsBudgie Care

Foods Poisonous to Birds There are several foods which should never
be fed to your budgie because they are toxic to birds. This includes avocado, fruit seeds and pits,
uncooked beans, chocolate, mushrooms, tomato leaves and stems, and rhubarb. Many fruit seeds and pits are toxic to birds,
so you should always remove fruit seeds or cut away parts of fruit that touched the pit
before giving any fruit to your budgie (strawberry seeds are okay). You should also avoid giving your budgie any
dairy (milk based) products, as birds cannot digest the lactose in dairy.

Only limited amounts of spinach, chard, or
beet greens should be fed to your bird no more than leaf per week. These greens contain oxalic acid, which bind
to calcium in the digestive system and can cause deficiencies. Dont feed your budgie onion or garlic. If youre sharing with your budgie, small
amounts of garlic or onion in your food is okay.

You shouldnt feed your budgie any more
than very limited amounts of any kind of salty food, sweets, or any foods known as junk
food. Never let your budgie consume coffee, soda,
caffeinated beverages, or alcohol..
