View all toxic foods for BirdsVeterinarians strongly warn against feeding onion to birds under any circumstances. The danger lies in the natural compounds found in onion. Thiosulfate compounds attack red blood cells, causing hemolytic anemia. Pets who ingest onion may show symptoms within hours — though delayed reactions can make diagnosis challenging. Time is critical — call your vet right away if your bird consumes any part of onion.
