Why this recommendation?
An edible option is neither unlimited nor a complete diet. Lories, lorikeets and other specialized feeders need separate guidance.
What to prepare or check
Identify a listed leaf type, such as romaine, first.
When not to offer it
Do not assume iceberg lettuce and all other leaves have the same nutritional value.

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.
