FAQ
Does this bird of paradise flower verdict cover Strelitzia nicolai?
No. The ASPCA's Bird of Paradise Flower and Bird's Tongue Flower entries name "Strelitzia reginae". Neither the ASPCA nor Pet Poison Helpline has an entry that names Strelitzia nicolai. That species is outside this page's verdict, and we do not grade it. Check the scientific name on the tag.
Does every plant called bird of paradise share this verdict?
No. The ASPCA's Bird's Tongue Flower entry warns: "Should not be confused with Caesalpinia or Poinciana gilliesii, which is also known as Bird of Paradise and is more toxic." This page covers Strelitzia reginae. The plants named in that warning are outside this verdict, and we do not grade them here. Check the scientific name on the tag.
