Facts about Aloe
by: Anonymous

Aloe vera has been found on some toxic plant lists because of a fine yellow sap that lays between the leaf & the aloe gel. This sap has been known to cause stomach irritations. It is not toxic, just can cause discomfort to only some individual parrots. The stomach irritation is extremely mild. All parrots should be allowed to enjoy the benefits of aloe gel, aloe plant, aloe juice on a daily basis.

My birds will eat the whole aloe plant. You will also find that the yellow sap is only in much older aloe plants with larger leaves. If your plant is small, young or the leaves are fairly young the yellow sap will either be not there at all or barely there & not worth the worry.
