Salt

Question
I gave my Indian ringneck a small peice of potato chip, not realising that salt is harmful.  What should I do? At present she is acting normally, getting up to lots of mischief, so doesn't seem to be ill affected, but I would like to know what to do to flush her system.

Answer
-- She should be ok.  Offer her some fruits, melons, water or even some juice like natural apple, orange or grape juice.

Though salt isn't good for them, mistakes happen and this amount shouldn't be something to worry about.   You can relax
