Hello to all our bird parents and feathery friends!
Today we will be addressing the use of branches/trees in your birds set up. Wether they be used to make homemade toys, as foraging materials, or as perches, is very important to ensure you are using a bird safe wood. The slightest traces of pesticides can potentially be harmful to your birds.
Before adding any branches to your birds cage, we recommend scrubing them with a non-toxic bird safe disinfectant, then rinsing to remove any bacteria and grime. We also recommend to bake your branches at 250°c to kill any bugs, eggs, fungi etc that could be living in or on the wood.
Some bird safe trees include:
- Eucalyptus
- Java wood
- Apple
- Birch
- Hibiscus
Happy bird keeping!
