Here it is also known as horsemint or monarda. I dont know, but I wouldn't let him have it until I had a confirmation that it is of the mint family.

Monarda, or Beebalm is indeed a member of the mint family. Other names for it include Oswego Tea and Kaiser's Crown. I've found it on some "bird safe" plant lists, and have seen recommendations for feeding dried Monarda flowers to parrots-- but haven't tried offering any to Ralph yet.

I'd stay on the safe side and not give him it, but I think it is ok.
