Coffee grinds

[shannon]

This is not for my Grey, but rather for my caique and pionous parrot. The two rascals got into coffee grinds this morning (we have small plastic containers of them) and tore the tops of the containers, spilled some, etc. I do not know that they injested any of the coffee grinds, but I fear they might have... their breath doesn't really smell like it, but after tearing the coffee up they ventured over to a fruit bowl and ate fruit so their breath mostly smells of apple. Are there any suggestions of what to do, if anything. This was just minutes ago. The closest avian vet to us is two hours away. They are both looking normal and fine now.

I doubt they would have ingested very much of it if any at all but just keep an eye on them for the next couple of days, you could give your avian vet a call and ask them about it but I doubt a one time thing is gonna cause any harm, coffee is one of those things that would have a cumulative effect.

Yep, Them little stinkers can get into anything with a lid.
