harmar Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi, we have an apple tree on the farm, it has never been sprayed with pesticides. I took a small branch from it which I want to let the bird chew.. it won't be used as a perch. How do I properly clean the branch? Do I just wipe it down with hot water? I thought I remember reading somewhere about baking it but now I can't find where. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 YOu could just scrub with a brush and hot water, then let it sun fo a day or two. Make sure you look for insect burrowing, mold etc. to ensure there is nothing potentially harmful in the bark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
