Ipe hardwood


vonzip

Recommended Posts

Ipe is an imported hard wood used frequently in this country. I could find no information (several searches on different search engines) on the effects it might have if ingested by a grey or any other parrot. I was thinking about using a piece of it I have in the shop to make a small horizontal resting perch but will not make a move till finding out if this wood is safe. Anybody know for sure?
