Have you seen White Oleander?

Reply:It's an o.k. movie. It was sad that her mother ended up in jail %26amp; she kept bouncing from one foster home to another. The best foster home was the rich lady (Renee Zellwegger) not sure if that's how you spell her real name. LOL. but I wished the lady didn't kill herself, the girl would've had a better lifestyle. I also didn't like it when she was wearing black lipstick %26amp; looked like a punk rocker girl.

Besides avocados and oleander, which 'foods/products' are toxic to birds?

For example, I drop a piece of toast and go scatter it to the birds in the garden. What if it's buttered or has peanut butter on it. Can this harm them? Do they glean, naturally, what is toxic to them?

Cleaning products are bad for birds, like Febreeze and Arm and Hammer.





I'll give you the website where you can find foods and products that are bad for birds.
Reply:It is my understanding that native birds know what is harmful and what is not-- recently, I learned that some foods they eat which was bad for a certain group of parrots that they are able to eat the clay because they have such a fast digestive tract that it isn't in their bodies long enough for their bodies to absorb it.





They like peanut butter-- my children put peanut butter on pine cones and dipped it in birdseed and hung it outside and watched the birds come and eat it.





Keep feeding the birds-- chocolate is bad but who is going to share that w/ the birds!! right ?
Reply:Butter is too fatty for them but peanut butter in very small amounts is ok. Chocolate, alcohol, salty, fatty, and greasy foods should not be fed to birds.


Elly,and her oleander eating dog. What happened?

If Elly's dog ingested oleander than it is a safe bet the dog is dead. Oleander is extremely toxic. I am sorry to hear about this puppy.

I dont know
Reply:If the dog ate oleander, it's going to die (if it's not dead already). The oleander contains the toxic glycoside oleandrin; one leaf can kill a full-grown human.

One of two things or both, over watering causing a depletion of iron in the soil. Oleanders like to dry out in between watering. There is a product called chelated iron. Allow your soil to dry, follow the directions on the package and cut back on the watering. letting the soil dry between. Once you have replaced the iron go back to your feeding routine which should be very two to three weeks. Good luck!


God Bless,

Chances are you'll be OK, but if you feel any of the following symptoms, you'd better seek medical assistance:





Effects of poisoning





Oleandrin, one of the toxins present in OleanderReactions to this plant are as follows. Ingestion can cause both gastrointestinal and cardiac effects. The gastrointestinal effects can consist of nausea and vomiting, excess salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhea that may or may not contain blood, and especially in horses, colic (Inchem 2005). Cardiac reactions consist of irregular heart rate, sometimes characterized by a racing heart at first that then slows to below normal further along in the reaction
Reply:i don't think it would be lethal or would it be?

What is Nerium oleander?
This fast growing evergreen shrub can reach up to 20 ft (6.1 m) tall but is usually seen trimmed at 6-10 ft (1.8-3.1 m). It forms a rounded mound to about 10 ft (3.1 m) wide. It is a tough, versatile plant with showy summertime flowers in white, red, pink, salmon and light yellow. Leathery, lance shaped leaves range from about 4-10 in (10.2-25.4 cm) long, depending on variety and are a bright green. Oleanders have a tendency to become leggy - overgrown individuals should be pruned as needed to maintain a nice shape. A popular variety is 'Petit Salmon' which is a dwarf that grows to only 4 ft (1.2 m).
