Is Pellionia pulchra Safe?

[SweetCheep]

Hello, I noticed this little hitchhiker growing in my indoor bird safe garden area. I was able to positively ID it as Pellonia pulchra, commonly referred to as Radiator Plant, or Rainbow Vine or Watermelon Vine. According to ASPCA it is non toxic to dogs, cats & horses. Birds aren’t mentioned. I can’t seem to find it on any of the Parrot Safe/Toxic houseplants lists I pull up on Google. Does anyone here know if this plant should be removed from my bird safe collection?

If you can't find any information I personally would remove it just to be sure.

The Radiator Plant mentioned on that safe list is Peperomia griseoargentea. The plant in question does share that common name, but is an entirely different species. If you compare pictures of the two it’s easy to see they’re not the same plant.

Better safe then sorry, if you can't find any info on the plant then best to remove it. It is a cute little plant, maybe you can carefully remove it and repot it for a place your bird can't get to.
