I have no idea what these plants are. We were given to us yesterday.
I know the Spruce tree but the other two I have no idea. If they are bad for Tinker I will leave them in my shop.

Thanks

I'm not sure what the spotted leaves one is but the other with flowers is Kalanchoe. Which I believe is safe but let see what I dig up just to sure

I have Plant Snap... which I don't trust at all... but it says the white one is Madagascar Widow's Thrill (Kalanchoe) and the other is a Polka Dot Plant.

I think the other one could a Chinese evergreen or Aglaonema. I'm a newbie with plants. Since @Monica posted " polka dot plant" I looked it up and it a common name for type variety of Aglaonema. They are also on the safe list. :)

Arg!! Doing more research its one of plants that depending on your source it be one either the safe or toxic list. There was one site that put it as mildly toxic, so maybe that's where the confusion lies. Give a second I'll dig up that site for you :)

Thank You so much for the names.
I did find this for the Kalanchoe, it will be put in the workshop window.

Small spotted one is a pink polka dot plant, I believe. Not sure about parrot safety...

Happy you put them somewhere safe.

Kalanches are poisonous plants. They belong to a group of plants that contain naturally-occurring poisons that affect the heart. The toxins in kalanchoe plants are similar to digitalis or digoxin a common heart medication used in both human and veterinary medicine. The severity of the poisoning depends upon the amount of plant eaten. All parts of the plant are considered toxic, even the water in the vase of cut kalanchoe flowers is dangerous.
Aglaonema or Chinese Evergreen plants are poisonous with a #2 toxicity level because of the calcium oxalate crystals in the plant.
