Marigolds are listed as a safe plant: Safe and Toxic Plants for Pet Birds List, poisonous and toxic plants for pet birds, safe herbs for pet birds, safe flowers for pet birds,safe garden plants for pet birds, safe garden flowers for pet birds, safe seeds to grow for pet birds, safe houseplants for pet birds, safe house plantsfor pet birds, Safe and Toxic Poisonous Woods, Toxic Plant List, Safe Plants List, Safe Woods for Bird Perches, Safe Trees and safe wood to use for bird perches and toys,Poisonous Plants for Birds, Safe Christmas Trees for Cockatiels and Birds, Safe and Toxic Poisonous Wood from Trees for Birds and Perches However, I don't know if they have any nutritional value? You also have to be careful that they weren't treated with any pesticides, etc if they were outside. Do they eat other fruits and vegetables? I would maybe just focus on those.

Safe Edible Flowers For Parrots
Should have checked before feeding the flowers to them. Good rule is, "When in doubt - DON'T".

Are you sure they are marigolds??? Chrysanthemums killed my moms canary.
They are sort of so close to take a chance...
Marigolds are supposed to have essential oils that can be good but suppose they are too strong for the bird???
Insecticide: The Tagetes essential oil is lethal to insects and kills them. Therefore, it keeps away parasitic insects such as mosquitoes, fleas, bed bugs, and lice. Common household insects such as cockroaches, ants, white ants, or termites are also kept away.

Members of this family include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many others. If you have allergies, be sure to check with your healthcareprovider before taking tagetes.

Marigolds are fine but only if you're sure they haven't been treated with fertilizers or pesticides.
I would try giving them some leafy greens instead if you can, if they are grown for food, they are less likely to have anything harmful on them.

@camelotshadow the post above you by @Hankmacaw states chrysanthemums are safe....do you know if there was pesticide on the flower or is it an unsafe flower?
