Do you have the option to call and talk with your vet, just for some better educated advice? My approach is always, when in question, ask.

In the meantime, definitely keep close watch for any signs or symptoms. Anything that's out of the ordinary could be a clue.

Hopefully all is okay, but please keep us posted 🙏

I certainly hope that no ill effects have presented!
Toxic plant and Parrots are a bad combination and you should think long and hard about assuring that it does not happen again.
As you know, the toxic transfer of plants is commonly near or on the surface and commonly fast acting as a means of assuring that another bite is not taken.
I certainly hope that you got really lucky!

I so hope your baby will be okay, parrotlets are so small and it wouldn't take much to cause damage.
I would take him to the vet to be on the safe side, if possible.

Here is a link to Avian Vets around the world:

Sending prayers that he will be alright.

You can Call the aspca animal poison control hotline at 888-426-4325 for advice (consultation).

They had an online link to look up plants but I couldn’t find that type of lily.

My hope is that your parrotlet didn’t eat it and will be ok.
