SUBSTANCES TOXIC TO OUR BIRDS

Fumes:  Because of the nature of the avian respiratory tract, birds are extremely sensitive to chemical fumes, smoke and environmental toxins. After common kitchen odors, paint fumes, pesticides and smoke are the most common problem areas. Birds should be removed for at least 24 to 48 hours after any odor-producing chemicals are used in the home or until all detectable smells have disappeared.  For everyday household odors, air filters can be helpful.

Lead and Zinc:  Lead and zinc poisoning are real threats to birds.  A bird's natural curiosity and strong beak make peeling and swallowing these soft metals very easy.  Unfortunately, sources of lead and zinc can still be found in our homes today.
