I was staying at my parents’ house in Sandpoint, Idaho (I sometimes refer to it as Sagle as well) over the winter holidays with my flock and my mom kept receiving beautiful bouquets of flowers from friends, family and co-workers. She actually got so many she started putting one in each room of the house! But she was nervous that they might be toxic to the birds so I jumped online to do a little research before letting my birds see the pretty flowers I knew they would want to explore.
I came across a website called The Kitchen Physician. It describes (with pictures) which flowers are good and which are bad for your companion parrot. I was so thankful for the photos included because I was looking up daisies and carnations specifically.
After finding out these were safe (and healthy!) for my parrots, I let my Congo African Grey parrot, Cressi, dive right in! So make sure to send your parrot some flowers every so often, it’s a healthy (and pretty) treat!
