My African Grey chewed up a packet of potpourri?!

[gillylover]

Hello,

I am really freaking out right now. I came home to my African Grey sitting contently on his cage, with a chewed up packed of potpourri under his cage. Most of the content of the packet was scattered on the ground, but I assume he ate some of it while chewing on the packet. Is it poisonous?? I am no where even close to an avian vet at the moment. So I need to know right away if this is fatal to him.

take him to vet ASAP I dont know how bad it is but they are all chemically dyed and scented super bad for birds! Hope everything will be ok!!

Apparently poisonous if ingested. If you can't get to an Avian Vet, get him to a vet who will consult with an avian vet?


He needs to go asap.

Please do let us know how you AG is doing. I'm quite concerned about him at the moment. I truly hope he didn't ingest any of it.
