Barbara Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 We are the new parents of a 10 week old. I know that certain types of tree/bark are good for him. As I live in Spain, does anybody know if he can have orange/lemon/almond/olive branches. Can it be fresh or should it dry first? Any help would be appreciated.

Guest Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Congratulations Barbara and also welcome here Having gone through Google the only thing I can read about your question is that the wood should not be smooth (?) but never did it mention anywhere that natural woods can not be used. Hopefully some other posters can give a more expert opinion <br><br>Post edited by: FairY, at: 2007/03/25 20:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticks_n_stones Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I remember reading about safe trees somewhere on this forum. From what I can recall, it seems to me that any fruit tree (maybe not avocado since the fruit is dangerous to parrots) is safe: apple, orange, pear, etc. I don't think nut trees were mentioned, and I know oak trees were not. Dogwoods are supposed to be OK. I think orange or lemon should be OK, but I'm not sure. Your vet should be a good source. That's not a lot of information, but I hope it helps. Congratulations on your new bird! What did you name your baby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I know bottle brush is safe for birds. I'm not sure if these trees/bushes grow in your area but it might be worth finding out... good luck, Rachel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
