If your baby has been chewing on any of the above mentioned plants or any that you think are toxic immediately call your Avian Vet and rush him over there with the plant, any vomit, and the most recent dropping, so the vet will be able to tell what type of poison the baby has ingested. The main thing is to stay calm and keep the baby quite and calm until you can get to the vet. If your Avian Vet is not availible call your local Poison Control for advise, they are there to help usually 24 hours a day.
