DUKEdevils36 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hi everyone finally able to get back on to the site for the first time in 3 months. Just been very busy and dont have internet at my new house. Anyway I will get to the point. Recently bought Duke a new cage that I will use while I am at college this coming semester and this past weekend I was helping my parents out with some yard work and cut off a bunch of branches off a red maple tree. I have been looking on like and have seen some sites say red maple is harmful and others say nothing about red maple being bad. So before I make Duke some new perches for his new home. I figured I would ask everyone here if red maple is safe. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Ian, I have a grey book, "African Grey Parrots" by Nikki Moustaki that has red maple listed as a toxic plant so I wouldn't use that if I were you. On another note, glad to have you back and don't stay away so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMustee Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 If a plant is listed as toxic anywhere treat it as toxic. Some lists out there are not as complete as others so don't go by if a plant is on every list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I also have a plant and tree list and red maple is definatly toxic to birds regular maple is fine but I don't even use that for my birds even though I have a huge maple tree in my yard. its so big my husband built a tree house in it for my daughter and a tire swing its massive but all the branches are high and I'm to chicken to go up there to get them I don't like heights.
