What tree for IRN?

Post by EmmaforRingnecks »

Hi everyone, I am building my aviary and am putting a tree in it. I just don't know which tree to plant that wouldn't be poisonous? Oh I'm in Australia. :)

You can put branches like Gum trees but planting a tree in the aviary is not a good idea as the birds will strip it to nothing and kill it.

Thanks, if I put more things in their aviary for them to chew on the might leave it alone.. I think I'll plant a gumtree and test out my luck.. :?

I've heard that bottlebrush makes the best perching branches. Some people in the US use it to make bird gyms and sell them.

I know they use grapevine and Madrona for perches, but I am not familiar with trees from there.
