Does anyone know if my african grey parrot...??
This is a link to a site that lists potential hazards, household poisons and poisonous plants, I have found it helpful in caring for my African Grey, Bob.

Hope it helps you.

I didn't find geranium leaves or Christmas cactus leaves on the list, but it's surprising how many are deadly to birds.
Reply:i think he might, african greys have very sensitive stomachs and its best to feed them specialised diets of seeds and fruits, but also do not give them too many sunflower seeds, not many people realise this but in large quantities they can be lethal to parrots, hope this helped
Reply:Those plants are not on the list I just read in one of my aviculture books that I'm studying. Keep birds away from house plants. It's not a good idea to keep plants that are poisonous to birds in the same house with them A Pelleted diet is a good diet for your bird. Zupreem Fruit pellets are excellent. You can still feed the fruit and veggies because the birds like them. Sunflower seeds are not harmful to them, but they contain a lot of fat and African Greys do not require high amounts of fat. At the aviary, we feed the black oil sunflower seeds at breeding time, along with the pellets.
