I've been a lifelong owner and lover of pet birds, and I've read in several source materials and by fellow breeders back when I bred cockatiels that avocados are very toxic to the point of being lethal to birds.

Is this true? Or is this a myth, like that if you touch a bird's nest the parents won't return or that birds can't smell?

Also what is it about the avocado that makes it dangerous to birds and why not people or cats or dogs and is it only specific birds? thanks /an/

Meh, avocados are pretty bad for most animals to eat because of the fatty oils.

As far as why they're allegedly so bad for birds, I couldn't tell you.

it's not especially toxic to cats and dogs but will cause vomiting.

as for birds, they are in fact very poisonous. no idea why.
