    If anyone can help me identify this plant, it would be great - One of my birds has recently been seen eating its leaves, and I think it might be poisonous.

    Can you help please?
    Thanks

    It's a little hard to tell from the picture but I think it could be a Spider Plant Chlorophytum comosum. I have a large one and my cat used to munch on the babies every time they got too long, I finally moved the plant up high, out of her reach. From my experience and everything I have read, Spider Plants are not toxic.
