I need a serious answer......WILL GARLIC KILL A PET BIRD?????

Question

my bird was fed a crutan......that had garlic on it and I don't know if that was what killed it

thanks to everyone who answered........I think most of you have convinced my wife it wasnt her who killed our bird. She fed it a crutan with garlic......and it died very sudden.....so she is beating herself up over it

Answer 1

A clove of garlic in drinking water is a home remedy for internal parasites in poultry. My pet birds eat off my plate all the time, and there is often garlic in my meals. A cruton with garlic on it is certainly not going to cause your bird any harm. Maybe it is harmful raw, but I seriously doubt a bird is going to even be interested in it raw.

Answer 2

Raw garlic is harmful. It can cause a bacterial infection in the bird. It is best to avoid garlic. The site I got this info from has a very detailed list of harmful herbs and others foods.

Answer 3

I don't think so. My parrot eats human food with spices in it and has never gotten sick. But garlic can be poisonous in a non cooked form to most animals.

Answer 4

im so sorry about your bird really thats so sad garlic raw can kill the guy above me said sorry

Answer 5

I have absolutely no idea. Why would you want to give your bird garlic?

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
