[/quote]Foods To Avoid Feeding Birds
Here is a quick list of foods to avoid feeding to your pet birds

Your pet bird can eat most of the foods that you eat, but there are a few things you should avoid feeding:
Chocolate
Caffeine
Avocado
Alcohol
Peanuts
Apple seeds
Stone fruit pits
Raw dairy (milk, fresh cheese, ice cream)
Onions
Rhubarb
Raw mushrooms
Salty items
Junk food
Beef [/quote]
[/quote]Onions, whether cooked, raw or dehydrated, contain sulfur compounds that, when chewed, are hydrolyzed to thisulfinates. Thiosulfinates decompose to a number of disulfides, including dipropenyl disulfide (or n-propyl disulfide), which appears to be the most toxic disulfide. These disulfides are oxidizing agents that can cause hemolysis or a rupture of red blood cells.
The toxicity of onions is based on their disulfide concentration, which is increased when they are grown in soil high in sulfur. Sulfur is a widely distributed element found in abundance in the soil in both free and combined states.
In addition to the compounds found in these plants that cause red blood cells to rupture, resulting in anemia, they can also cause irritation to the mouth, esophagus and crop, and can cause ulcers, although this damage is probably more severe in mammals.
The sulfur compounds found in these plants cause red blood cells to rupture in animals, and dogs, cats and cattle seem particularly sensitive to this problem. Because birds have nucleated red blood cells, and mammals do not, it is thought that this somewhat protects them from the affects of Heinz body hemolysis. Heinz bodies are pieces of oxidized hemoglobin that are found on still-intact red blood cells (RBCs). If enough RBCs are ruptured from the ingestion of these compounds found in onions and garlic, this will result in anemia. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues and for removing carbon dioxide, as well. As the number of RBCs decreases, the animal becomes weaker, and the gums and tissues also become pale.
The good news is that the red cells can be replaced by the body as long as the hemolysis stops. In dogs, it takes several days for the red cell count to reach the lowest point after a single large exposure. In chronic exposure at low doses, the anemic effect is lessened because RBCs, also called erythrocytes, are being regenerated as they are being destroyed.[/quote]
Also fuer mich ist klar,das ich keine Zwiebeln,Lauch,Schnittlauch oder aehnliches verfuettere.

Although it is thought that because the red blood cells of birds have a nucleus, which is somewhat protective, these items can still cause red blood cells to rupture. If enough rupture, it causes anemia.
