Pet Bird Dietary No-No's
Adapted From: Parrots For Dummies 

There are a few foods that you may eat that you shouldn't share with your pet birds. These include:
Avocado
Rhubarb
Chocolate
Raw onion
Salty and sugary foods (chips, pretzels, and so on)
Alcohol

These foods are toxic or deadly, or can simply make your bird ill.
Avoid feeding your parrot fatty or sugary snacks. It might be funny to watch your parrot eat a cheese doodle, but think of all of the other, more nutritious things she could be eating instead. Also, parrots tend to become porky if they eat too many fatty calories and don't get enough exercise. Better to stick with the healthier stuff. Too much salt can actually be deadly for a parrot, so no chips and pretzels.

Parrot-type birds do not need grit in their diet, despite the myth. Do not feed your parrot grit. It can cause crop impaction, and he'll be unable to digest his food properly. Excess grit in the gut can lead to death.

Two fools are about to go flying

Two morons stand on a cliff with their arms outstretched. One has some budgies lined up on each arm, the other has parrots lined up on his arms.
After a couple of minutes, they both leap off the cliff and fall to the ground.
Laying next to each other in intensive care at the hospital, one moron says to the other, "I don't think much of this budgie jumping."
The other moron replies, "Yeah, I'm not too keen on this paragliding either."

*DOG TIP*

I found that if I break off an inch or so of a banana and push the pill into it my dogs love taking their pills!

*CAT TIP*

Have you ever noticed a paper-thin translucent material covering your cat's nails? These are called nail sheaths and are a normal part of your cat's claws. When your cat scratches on wooden posts, tree trunks or scratching posts it is in part to facilitate the shedding of the worn-out claw sheath.
