Types of Poisoning Lead Poisoning Symptoms: 

 

Feather picking, Depression, Ataxic (loss of balance), Regurgitating, Colored urine, and even Blindness

Common sources of lead:

solder, bird toys, batteries, galvanized wire, cloths, linoleum, paints (lead-based), stained glass, curtain weights, fishing and diving accessories, ceramic pieces, foil covering champagne or wine bottle openings, led gasoline fumes, and Tiffany lamps.
Even your parrot’s drinking water can have a high percentage of lead. So, I would suggest using cold water for drinking, as hot water dissolves lead more readily.

Keep the amount of lead low, and ensure the pipes are regularly flushed. It is better to avoid using the water remaining in the pipes for more than six hours. If you suspect lead poisoning in your bird, seek medical attention without any delay.

Insecticide Poisoning:

It takes only some extra precautions to avoid the condition. While applying the insecticide sprays, do not keep the bird in that room.

After you are done with the spraying, open the windows. Let the fresh air come in. Only then can the bird be taken into the room. Symptom: Respiratory or breathing troubles Once you spot the sick bird, take it out to an open place. Call the vet.

Paint, Galvanized Wire, Toys, Costume jewelry or metal beads, Food and Water Dishes. Common Symptoms: Feather picking, Polydipsia, Anemia, Cyanosis, Polyuria (urine in the dropping), Hyperglycemia, and Seizures.

Some common toxic plants are amaryllis, Bird of Paradise, Caladium, Clematis, Crocus, Daffodil, Eggplant, Ivy, Juniper, Marijuana, Narcissus, Oleander, Poppy, Potato, Sweet Pea, Tobacco, Tomato, and Tulip.
Direction:
If you provide wood perches and toys to your parrots, ensure they are pesticide and chemical-free. Disinfect them before use.
