Apples, along with other members of the rose family including cherries, peaches, apricots, and pears contain trace amounts of cyanide within their seeds.﻿﻿ While the fruit of the apple is fine for your bird, be aware that in addition to the poisonous seeds, there may be pesticides present on the fruit's skin.

Thoroughly clean and core any apple pieces that you share with your bird to avoid exposure to these toxins.
