Can Birds Eat Peach Pits?
Avoid
Do not offer peach pits to birds or allow them to be chewed. Avian sources identify peach and other stone-fruit pits as cyanide-containing; separate all flesh from the stone before serving.
Cut peach flesh fully away from the stone and keep the pit out of the bird area.
Peach PitsRemove it
Cut peach flesh fully away from the stone and keep the pit out of the bird area. Inspect the serving piece for hard pit fragments before it reaches the bowl. After a chewed or broken pit, keep the remaining material and call with the exposure details.
Do not improvise
Do not leave a peach half with the stone attached for a bird to investigate. Do not assume a large pit is too hard or too big for a parrot to damage.
When to call
- Call promptly after a damaged pit or for breathing change, weakness, balance trouble, vomiting or regurgitation, collapse, appetite loss, or unusual behavior.
