Poisonous Foods to Keep Away from Birds
It's common to feed the birds your leftover bread that's gone stale, or your uneaten corn-on-the-cob. However, there are many foods that should never go near a bird's eating area. Birds have different digestive systems than humans do, and some things that humans love, birds find fatal.
* Avocado
* Chocolate
* Raw Onion
* Anything with caffeine
* Anything with alcohol
* Dairy products
* Processed Meats
* Anti-freeze (never add to birdbath water!!)
Also, be sure not to leave seeds sitting and mouldering in a feeding container. The seeds can go rancid and poison the birds instead of providing nutrition to them.
