What Can Birds Eat?

Vet-reviewed food safety guides for birds

Pet birds have some of the most sensitive digestive systems of any companion animal. Foods like avocado, chocolate, onions, and caffeine are lethal to birds β€” sometimes within hours of ingestion. What is safe also varies by species: a large macaw can handle foods that would harm a small budgie. Our guides are species-specific, covering cockatiels, budgies, African greys, lovebirds, macaws, conures, and canaries. Every guide covers safe quantities, toxic parts, and emergency steps if your bird has eaten something dangerous.
