List of Poisonous Plants


This list is not all inclusive--just because you don't see something listed here doesn't mean it isn't harmful. If in doubt, keep it out of reach until you can contact your avian vet.

You may also call The National Animal Poison Control Center for assistance. You should have on hand the time of exposure, type of toxin (name or manufacturer) and any other pertinent information (ingredients, etc). You can choose between a $30 per case charge (1-800-548-2423--credit cards only) or a $2.95 per minute rate (1-900-680-0000)
