Why this recommendation?
Avian feeding guidance excludes chocolate; being part of a human snack is not a reason to share it.
What to prepare or check
Contact an avian veterinarian with the packaging, time and amount after ingestion.
When not to offer it
Check cocoa drinks and chocolate snacks too.

An “avoid” recommendation does not mean every accidental bite is poisoning. Ingredients, amount, time and the animal matter.
- Stop further access and keep the food or packaging.
- Record the species, product, estimated amount and time; say when an amount is unknown.
- For a known hazardous ingredient, or unusual weakness, tremors or breathing, contact a veterinarian promptly. Do not wait for symptoms after a known toxic exposure.
Do not induce vomiting or give human medicines on your own.
