Battery acid, antifreeze, drain-o, rat poison

Answer 3

Parakeets are lactose-tolerant and cannot eat a lot of dairy product. Also, parakeets are HIGHLY allergic to chocolate and avocados and should never be given either. Junk food such as pretzles, potato chips, etc. aren't good for a parakeet either!

You can feed a parakeet fresh fruit such as apples and cherries, but be careful about the seeds as those have toxins in them. Lettuce is fine, but it really has no nutrients in it. It's better to give them other, healthier greens.

Poisonous plants to keep away from parakeets:

amaryllus

calla lily

daffodil

english ivy

foxglove

holly

lily of the valley

mistletoe

rhubarb

VERY IMPORTANT: if you have a parakeet, it's best to rid your house of non-stick cookware. If you EVER accidentially leave one of these pots or pans on the stove and it runs dry, the odors put off from the cookware are fatal to parakeets. It's far safer to not have any in the house than to take that chance.  

Answer 4

There are a few times of foods that should never be fed to any bird, including parakeets.   Do not feed them avocado, chocolate, alcohol or anything with caffeine.  

Also, you want to avoid cooking with non-stick cookware around your little guy.  The fumes of overheated teflon can make them very sick.

Other than those few things, you can feed all kinds of foods to your parakeet... but everything in moderation!
