Remove it

Remove trail mix from the cage, play stand, floor, or treat dish. Offer clean water and return to the normal species-appropriate diet. Call an avian veterinarian if the bird already ate a meaningful amount or seems unwell.

Do not improvise

Testing a smaller amount. Mixing it into chop or seed to see if the bird tolerates it.

When to call

  • Appetite change, vomiting or regurgitation, droppings change, weakness, balance trouble, breathing change, or fluffed posture.
