Hippeastrum rescue

@Linda...just curious. Did the parrot actually eat any of the bulb, or just
shred-and-fling? I've lived with parrots before, and often the fun for them
was all about biting and dropping rather than swallowing whatever they
might have been playing with.

Hi Dennis,
Possibly this critter is the culprit, link right from our own PBS site.

Ernie DeMarie in NY where the bulbs that are blooming are inside, namely a
spiloxene, several oxalis spp, lachenalia viridiflora, Hesperantha
hantamensis, a couple of Massonias, Lapeirousia plicata, and Walleria
gracilis.

HOLY CRAP!!! I cut into my bulb and found live caterpillars inside.
GROSS! What are they?? I never heard of anything in Ohio that would
eat a Hippeastrum bulb from the inside out. YUCK.
