After 24 hours I wouldn't worry much. Just keep an eye on the eating, drinking and stool. Then I would have a little shat with the kids about what foods would kill your baby! Lol

There is actually a great raging debate about avocado. Good thing you had no problems!

Tell the kids he does not need M&Ms either!

I knew a re-homed cockatoo that had been trained with peanut M&M's. I kid you not! That bird new what a peanut M&M bag looked like from a good 50 yards away... and was none too good about taking "No" for an answer!

Hey... did you know in her book "The Parrot Who Owns Me", Joanna Burger mentions how her Amazon LOVES Hershey's kisses? Just a fun fact.

(Milk chocholate contains very little actual chocolate. But still is none too good for your bird.)

All I know is I don't give my birds EVER and the Teal (B & G) will do anything for a shelled peanut and Ellie (u2) will do anything for a little spoon with Peanut butter!

Oh and Ellie knows what the jar looks like because when I make my boys a sandwich she screams for some. and Teal knows what the baggie looks like that his peanut are in 50 feet away too!
