I know most bird owners know this.

DID YOU KNOW? 🤔

While most fresh vegetables and fruits are amazing for your bird’s diet, a lot of people ask what is NOT SAFE to feed them.

One fruit that is TOXIC for birds to eat is AVOCADO.

In the wild, avocados on the tree are given a lot of time to ripen. During this ripening process, the fruit contains a natural oil called persin.

Persin is an oil-soluble fungicidal toxin that is meant to help protect the fruit until it is ripe. This toxin is also present in the branches and leaves of the tree and the pit of the fruit.

These fruits ripen very quickly, so an artificial ripening process is used to keep grocery stock fresh. This process includes cooling the fruit to slow down its ripening.

When ready to be shipped out, it gets heat-treated to rapidly ripen the avocado. This leads to more concentrated amounts of persin than what is naturally found in the wild.

This also includes avocado oil, used for cooking meals due to its very high smoking temperature. This oil is also high in persin and should never be shared with your bird.

You may be wondering, what exactly will happen if your bird eats avocado?

Well, the most common issue you will see is heart failure. Persin increases the heart rate, causes apathy and very laboured breathing in birds. If enough toxin is present, it may even lead to liver and kidney failure.

This can all occur in as little as 12 hours from ingestion.

So while you may enjoy some guacamole here and there, make sure your feathered friends don’t try and steal a bite. 😎

Totally agree with this. I have had some birds who have come into stay and have had issues. Lets keep things as natural as possible.

Let them be birds.
Have you ever seen a potty-trained bird in the wild?
Potty training is for toddlers, not birds.
