Conure ill from house plants?

FrankP · Aug 28, 2012

My friend's Green Cheek Conure chewed on a house plant- I think it is a succulent about three hours ago and now won't eat his favorite food. He seems ok except for low energy. Can conures get an "upset stomach" from chewing on plants like that? Is there anything to do to help him?
thanks!

Some house plants are extremely toxic, some can make them mildly ill. I would need to know what type of plant it is to know if it is safe or not.

I'd find out the type of plant and give an avian veterinarian a call. This could be nothing or it could be very serious indeed.

I'd tell your friend to take him to the vet ASAP. You don't know if the plant was harmless or deadly toxic . Lots of birds died from chewing on a plant which the owner thought was safe. Can you tell us whats the name of the plant

I'd definitely call the vet to be safe. Take a leaf of the plant also. It helps. Hope he perks up and it's nothing serious. Keep us posted!

I refer to this often. It has the type of plant, Toxic part of the plant, The toxins that cause symptoms, and symptoms from injustice the plants. Hope it helps.
