BIRD ATE SOME AVOCADO, HELP!!!

Postby MagInThePie » Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:09 pm

So I was eating some of my avocado toast, making sure to keep it miles away from my Conure. I unknowingly had some on my finger, and while he was on my hand he chewed on it. Hardly any got into his mouth, just a tiny bit. I have heard 1 gram of avocado can kill them, I'm so scared right now. Please help!!

UPDATE: He's fine. The cooldown time for avocado poisoning is 15-30 minutes and its been an hour. He is happily eating his food atop his cage.

Sorry I did not see this before but I am glad your bird is OK. I don't like avocados so my birds never have access to it.
