Description
What better way to make a bird feel at home! Since Herbie can not be left out unattended, I am grateful that we have a large enough cage to hold a "tree". We're also lucky enough to have an apple tree that needs pruning. There is some controversy over whether apple tree branches are safe or not. I have used them with birds for over 12 years and feel comfortable doing so. You will want to be positive that the tree of your choosing has not been sprayed with anything. There are plenty of sites online that list safe and unsafe branches, so I won't list them here. You might try: www.avianweb.com/safewoods.html This site comes illustrated.More Photos
