poison prevention tips
Birds are highly sensitive creatures when it comes to thier health. If you have indoor birds such as myself it might be a good idea to refresh some tips on poison prevention in order to keep your little angel/s singing!
1. Birds are highly sensitive to inhalant fumes, so please avoid exposing yours to fumes from self-cleaning ovens and overheated cookware, automobile exhaust, tobacco smoke, glues and paints, insecticidal fumigants, perfume and hair spray.
2. Never allow your bird access to areas in which cleaning agents are being used or stored. Should your pet ingest them, he could suffer from a range of symptoms, depending on the substance, from mild stomach upset to severe burns of the tongue, mouth and crop.
3. Foods and beverages that could be dangerous to birds include:
:arrow: avocados
:arrow: chocolate in any form
:arrow: coffee & tea
:arrow: moldy or spoiled foods
:arrow: onions & garlic
:arrow: tomato leaves and stems
:arrow: yeast dough
4. Keep all prescription and over-the-counter drugs out of beak's reach, preferably in closed cabinets. Pain killers, cold medicines, anticancer drugs, vitamins and diet pills are all examples of human medications that can be lethal to birds, even in small amounts.
If you suspect your bird has gotten into a potentially poisonous substance, call your veterinarian
