Wow Sherry thats a big list. Fog Horn had some Locoweed but he wouldnt share hahahahahahahja

Thanks for posting such an extensive list, Sherry. This will be good to print out and keep handy.

I knew about the danger of fumes from non-stick cookware, but I wasn't aware that some other everyday household items could be toxic to birds: bathroom cleaners, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and felt tip pens. Good to know!

your welcome
