Budgies ate soil with fertilizer... what should I do!?

[StormyPica]

So my birds decided it would be a good idea to eat potting soil with fertilizer. But it was also my mistake, I left a plant in my room. And I read a thread about it, and it says soil can contain a lot of things that can quickly prove fatal to birds. I'm 100% going to the vet, but what to do in the meantime?

I honestly wouldn’t worry too much about it. You can’t make them vomit but you can watch them to ensure they’re still well. Eating pooping and being active, that is.

I can't give reccomendations on how help them now, but what I reccomend to prevent future incidents is to add a layer of pebbles in the pot. Not only will it trap moisture, meaning less watering, it will also stop the birds from reaching the soil. Just make sure that the pebbles are too big for the birds to lift over.
