I was just laughing at the title...Macaw eating herbs?! I didn't know there were herbs that grew large enough to eat a macaw... even a mini mac!
Like Monster Venus Fly Trap sized?!
I think they call those things Audrey II... !

I don't think Cilantro gets big enough to eat a macaw either.
And it doesn't have teeth.
But I do know all six of mine have eaten my homemade chili that had cilantro in it, and none of them keeled over dead...

Yup, Cilantro is safe. It's in the parsley family.
