Is it bad for a cockatiel to eat a leaf off a christmas tree?

My cockatiel got excited for some reason and started to fly. Even though my living room isn't that big, I couldn't find her and that was because she was behind the Christmas tree. There aren't any decorations on it yet, but when I found her she was chewing on a leaf, or pine needle I guess, of of the tree. I was wondering if it was bad for her. I don't want her to get sick or anything. Thankyou!

    As Lucy said, Christmas trees are toxic to birds, I normally have a real tree, but this year I have had to go for artificial because I have now got an African Grey and I am not willing to take the risk. I don't want to risk his health for the sake of a tree that is going to used for at the most two weeks.
