TinyTimneh Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 well finally identified my mystery houseplant, some sort of hoya spp. maybe carnosa. the other two species residing near my birds are a christmas cactus, and five baby spider plants. i know the last two are bird safe. i would never ever let any of my three birds play with or touch my plants regardless, but i have peace of mind in knowing that should one of them every rip off a leaf or something that they'll be okay. but i've conflicting info on the hoya plant. some say toxic to birds, others say fine... what do you guys tnink?

dblhelix Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 As far as I can tell the Hoya are classified as non-toxic though some people may develop a rash from the milky sap. Hummingbirds drink the flower nectar, there are reports of peoples birds and cats eathing the leaves w/o ill effect. Do a google search Hoya and you can read up quite a bit on this.
