Zinc & Lead.
Parrots are very curious and they put everything in their mouths. We have to be aware of what we leave laying around because what they get ahold of might kill them...
Common household sources of lead include costume jewelry, paint, drapery weights, linoleum, batteries, stained glass, mirrors, galvanized wire, and improperly glazed bowls.
Lead poisoning most commonly affects the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and the nervous system.
High levels of zinc and lead in the body can cause seizures.
Sources of zinc include galvanized hardware (wire, nuts, and bolts), zipper pulls,
and US pennies minted after 1983. Elevated levels of zinc can affect the liver.
