I'm looking for a houseplant that is white and preferably of the flowering variety, that will not negatively affect any parrots.
I figured this was the best place to ask and be set upon the right road.

A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.

You might try a gardenia http://www.logees.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R1279-2 or a Hoya http://www.logees.com/prodinfo.asp?number=R1337-2 I did some research and these are not poisonous...Logee's has a great website and you might look there...

Thank you so much, I was originally looking at gardenia and white lilly.
Do you think the fragrance would be fine? I'm not sure how strong gardenia typically is.

I'm not sure i could have a Gardenia in the house, outside is over powering enough.

Awe heck, you know how it is, everybody's sniffers are different. I'm an avid gardener and so do a lot of reading on stuff, I like http://davesgarden.com/ because the reviews are revealing. I assume if something is overwhelming pinching back blooms would be an option...
