Bird-safe plants?

[Wink05]

Hi, again. I was curious about bird-safe plants. Is it safe to have plants in your bird cage? If so, which ones? I have heard that california poppies, boston ferns, wheat/cat grass, spider plants, and several herbs are non toxic, safe, and potentially beneficial. Thoughts?

I'd agree with that.

Do you think it is safe to have some of the non toxic plants in the birds cage, for enrichment and such, or is it better not to?
I have several house plants that I know are toxic (golden pothos, monstera, snake plant) so will keep those well away from my parakeet for sure!

I would say no. Normal shredding and foraging toys are good.

Ok. Is there a reason behind that? Is it unsafe, or just not necessary? I appreciate your help!

Just unnecessary, honestly. If the bird likes plants though, go ahead

Agreed. Also, always make sure the dirt is organic and has no fertilizers.

Ok, thank you! I once saw a list that was trying to say that snake plants and string of pearls was safe! They are both toxic, so clearly not
