Over the counter human medications, even those seemingly benign as aspirin, Tylenol or vitamins, can poison your bird. Commonly available bird products such as antibiotics, mite sprays or feather-picking "remedies" must also be avoided. Always check with your avian vet before giving any health product to your bird.
When taking your medicine, such as the cute, red, candy-looking Sudafed or the like, be sure that your bird is not on your shoulder or somewhere where he could fly to you.
