There are a number of foods that humans can happily eat that can cause serious harm to a parrot should they ever eat it. Some are quiet obvious, such as caffeine, chocolate, and alcohol, whereas others are less so, such as vegetable leaves, avocado, and apple seeds. Although, not actually a food stuff, the reason why alcohol is so dangerous to parrots is because it impacts negatively on their system organs – similar to how it does in humans. As a result, alcohol can actually prove to be fatal for parrots. Just like it is for lots of other pets, chocolate is highly poisonous for parrots, so should never be fed to them. Although it may not be actually harmful, if your pet bird was to consume caffeine, it would make them go super manic, so it is best for them to avoid it.

Just like many other fruit seeds, apple seeds, contain small amounts of cyanide, so should always be avoided. The stone inside of an avocado and the skin can both cause your parrot to suffer from cardiac distress and / or heart failure. Both the leaves and stems of common vegetables, such as potatoes and tomatoes, are completely poisonous to all types of parrots, and so should never be fed to them.
