safe plants/flowers that are edible
by: Linda

Tracie has a list of safe and not safe plants and woods out here. Anything that says "sap may cause irritation" will kill your bird. All Ivy plants are poison and most of the indoor plants are poison from Ivy to Ferns. If you don't find the plant you're looking for in her list, then do a search on the internet to find out about toxicity.

As Tracie mentioned, even safe plants and trees can be made toxic by having either pesticides or fertilizers put in them and/or on them even one time. With trees it ruins the wood for use as parrot perches and/or toys. Always make sure you do a full net search on any plant you do not find on Tracie's list and make sure it has been raised organically. Organic growers use natural, bio-degradable treatments for pests and for plant food. These products break down in a short time and food can be safely eaten. The fruit and veggies found in most groceries are dangerous for humans and/or pets of any kind. They come from commercial growers who use pesticides and fertilizers like they're going out of style. Never feed this to your bird as there is a possibility of poisoning. Find good organic health food stores or coops where people come together with their organic products for sale.

Hope this helps, and look at Tracie's list and then do further searches on anything not on the list. As I said, most house plants and outside flowering plants are poison. It is best to keep birds away from all outside plants just in case they are either poison or have been sprayed for bugs or fertilized with commerical chemicals.
