Many bird owners have heard the warning about chocolate, but
it's worth repeating. "Chocolate contains a compound called
theobromine, which is like caffeine in that it is a stimula-
nt," explained Natalie Antinoff DVM, an exotic-only veterin-
arian in Houston, Texas. In high enough quantities, chocola-
te can cause birds to suffer heart problems, depression, re-
gurgitation, seizures, liver damage and even death.
"Since the consistency of chocolate is so thick, it is not e-
asily flushed out if a bird does eat it," Dr.Antioff siad. C-
hocolate candy is also bad vecause of its high sugar levels.
Even a small bite of a chocolate could be harmful to your bi-
rd "A bird's body weight is much less than ours, so it takes
a lot smaller volumes to cause equal signs os illness," noted
Dr.Speer. "If your 400-grams Amazon eats one small square of
chocolate, that would be the equivalent of a human being eat-
ing a 10-pound bar of chocolate. If you eat 10-pound of choc-
olate you will have the same clinical signs as your Amazon p-
arrot that ate one snall square of chocolate."
