Parsley is not toxic, the problem with it is that it has, by far, the highest content of oxalates as well as super high purines so, even when you give the bird what would seem like a little bit, it packs a big punch of bad.
As an interesting note, when I was a young girl and beginning to learn about canaries, everybody who kept and/or raised them said "No parsley, not ever! If you feed parsley to a canary, the bird will die". They did not say it was toxic but they did say it was fatal and nobody, to this day, feeds birds parsley in my country. Neither do I.
