Those look parrot tempting..... darn it

I'm not sure how harmful that could be...

I wouldn't force water.
Instead I'd offer foods with fiber like pumpkin, cooked sweet potato s mashed up serve warm. Mine live them. Maybe a little cooked oatmeal.

See what vet it other members have to say ...
I kinda lean to it being ok ....but I don't know that fir sure

I didnt force him to drink i just offered it. I will be checking on him throughout the day to see if there are any changes in his behaviour.

I would be guessing they will be non toxic like most kids stationary here needs to be but do a quick search on the brand to double check.

I would not stress too hard but I would also do as previously suggested and feed mashed pumpkin, sweet potato, almond butter or sweetener free peanut butter to help move any foreign materials through Winnies system asap.

Are there any other things to give winnie because i just had dinner and ate sweet potato and pumpkin but ate it all so we dont have any :lol:
I did give him a bit of cooked chicken after he ate it which is a coincidence, would that help???

Keep an eye on him, I think some cooked rice would work like pumpkin. Or cooked pasta (only a little). Hope he's ok :)

Ok, thanks!
Is cooked chicken nutritious for birds or is it not worth giving it to him?
If it's got nothing added to it, it's not harmful in small amounts, it can even be good for them to have a tiny bit every month or so. Don't know if it'd help with the situation though, it might.

How is Winnie?

Did you find some artistic poops the day after this happened or did Winnie just chew the leads and spit them out?
