Do you know if any of the following plants are toxic to finches (zebras, societies): Peace Lily, tomatoe plant, or a spider plant. These are plants that I can get cheap at Meijers and could replace after abuse from the birds. Thanks for the help!

I think I've read that the spider plant is ok. Not sure about the other ones.

In FinchInfoCenter, there is a listing of some plants that are good or bad; the listing is under housing. There is also a link to a Birds n Ways site that has a more comprehensive list; however, I didn't see peace lily or tomato on either list. Spider plant is fine.

peace lillies are poisonous to cats and dogs so I imagine they wouldn't be safe for finches either, not sure about spider plant, I think tomato is poisonous too, since it's in the nightshade family.
