* Many people often say that parsley is toxic for birds. It does contains substances that are poisonous in high doses. But both substances can only be found in parsley in very small doses. If you serve only small quantities of parsley to your budgies, it will not harm the birds in any way. But please make shure that your birds don't suffer from a lack of calcium since parsley contains substances that bind calcium. If birds who suffer from a lack of this mineral eat too much parsley their health problem could become even worse.

** Most birds must get used to the very aromatic herbs at first. After a while they love to nibble from it. Please only serve small quantities of those herbs to your budgies, because the plants contain a lot of essential oils that could overexcite the bird's mucosa.
