Can birds die from eating peanut butter cookies?

Question

i accidentaly fed my neighbors birds a little bit of a peanut buttter cookie...

will they be ok?

Answer 1

No, they she will be fine. Even though peanut butter and cookies have salt and sugar in them they are not dangerous unless fed all the time in which case they could be lethal. I had the same thing happen with my lovebird where he snuck a chunk of my peanut butter cracker while i wasn't looking...the sneaky little devil

Answer 2

Relax, they'll be fine.  In fact, a lot of us feed peanut butter (not straight but mixed with grains, etc.) as a fat treat for lots of wild birds on feeder poles or with suet, etc.

Answer 3

They will be okay as long as there is no chocolate in the cookies.  Chocolate is toxic to birds.  Salt can be a problem as it causes excessive thirst and kidney problems in birds if the amount is to high.  If you see any unusual behavior in the birds, don't hesitate to call or take them to an avian vet in your area as  birds can become ill very fast as they have a very high metabolism.

Answer 4

They should be OK.  Just don't give them anymore salt or sugar.

Answer 5

Yes, they will be fine. As a regular diet, that would hurt them, but as a treat.. No harm. You need to watch the suagr and salt products you give them.

Answer 6

yes they can die if they are allergic to peanut butter, or dough. But they will be fine otherwise.

Answer 7

haha

no, the bird will be fine. it probably had the best meal of its life
