Once tile grout has dried, does it contain any harmful chemicals? I have a parrot that's chewing it.

Grout is calcium carbonate plus silica if sanded. May have a bit of talc. I don't think any of thoose would hurt the bird but it might prefer to get its calcium via a cuttlefish bone.

It's not trying to eat it, it's trying to destroy it. Most ends up on the floor, but I was concerned about a bit that gets in it's throat.
So the strong smell you get when using pre-mixed grout is just a solvent which has by now long since evaporated?

Birds often ingest pebbles for aid in digestion. Next time use epoxy grout.

Your parrot is bored and/or it's trimming its beak. Either way, get off you fat ass and go get some non-toxic tree branches and build a tree for it to chew/play on.

She has plenty to play on, with, and chew up. Branches, nestboxes, cardboard boxes, an old wooden birdtable, some old wooden furniture, two other parrots, .....
I'm also growing a tree to go in the aviary.
