danmcq Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hello Cookie, I know your in a panic, but could you give a little more information? Are they both Parrots? What type? Where is the bite located? If it's really bad, get to a Vet ASAP!!
she Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hi dont panic. If he has only taken a bite I should think all is ok.Keep an eye on him by allmeans but I dont think its a major problem.
danmcq Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Oh, Jesus, I didn't even think of "Starburst" being the Candy. If so then it's definately not a 911. Thanks for catching that Sheila. :-)
Talon Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 It's fine. Don't worry. My birds have had Skittles, twizzlers, Starburst, Mike & Ikes, Good n Fruity, among other things they have snuck in the last 3 years...:pinch: They have even gotten into choc. chip cookies, and have no effect at all.:ohmy: Honestly, I don't eat that stuff anymore...but my kids get it on occasion. It really isn't a diet I feed my kids or my birds!
Carolyn Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Mika has stolen the occasional candy a couple of times and except for a loose stool the next day he was just fine. Penny, next we are going to here that the two of them are drinking Starbucks Latte's and eating red velvet cupcakes:laugh: on occasion's only;) Carolyn & Mika
danmcq Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Well, know that Ive gotten over my misreading embrassment. :blush: I'll comment on the candy, coffee, coke and other "Forbidden" stuff. I single smallish dose is not death or even sickening to them. In reading scientific studies on this, it takes a very large quantity to sicken or kill your birdy. I am not of course saying it is ok to give your Grey a cup of coffee or a whole Hersheys Kiss. Just wanting to ease some over zealous anxiety of someone that has a birdy get onto something that is off limits. :-)<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2009/01/22 23:18

danmcq Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 LOL Judy - I love ribbing from a lovely woman such as your self. :-)
Dave007 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Ladies and Gentleman Attention!! Please, let us have a moment of silence. Let us bow our heads and contemplate what a tragedy just occurred . :ohmy: Dan has made a mistake:ohmy:
judygram Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 OMGawd January 22, 2009, remember that date everyone, the day Dan made a mistake.:woohoo:
redkim Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hee Hee Hee Dan. I KNOW I should not laugh but I can't help it. I was wondering where you were going with your questions and was actually getting concerned over Starburst in my home. Glad to know you're human!!
LisaM Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Dan - if it helps, I though the same thing when I read it...fortunately I just read it now so got to read the whole thread before responding! That said... Dave - your comment was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks!:lol: Judy - I think you have the best assurance for making sure the fids don't get any chocolate, etc. I, too, eat it all up quickly...just to be safe, you know.
cookie_2008 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 so its nothing to worry to much about phew hubby would have killed me!:evil: i cannot belive you give your parrot skittle i dont even give them to my kids cause they have to many enumbers in them and make them hyper lol oh well at least i am not alone thanks a lot for all your help and advice cookie
