Yes.

Answer

Some herbivores find Norfolk Pines (which aren't a true pine) quite tasty. On the island itself young trees have to be protected from roving cattle. As for household pets, the Norfolk Pine is considered safe for pets, including parrots (which will chew any leaves within reach) although it would be prudent to limit the intake of leaves. Of course, a parrot let loose on a Norfolk Pine would result in a very sorry looking tree!

Norfolk Island Pines are generally considered non-toxic to pets like cats and dogs. However, ingestion of the needles or parts of the plant can still cause stomach upset or irritation in some animals. It is best to keep the plant out of reach of pets to prevent any potential issues.
