I am about to get an Alexanderine. I have lots of Bamboo, (golden bamboo) growing around my place. Would that be good to give to the bird, fresh and/or dried??

Thanks....

Wow, almost 40 views and not ONE reply?? Ok, I did some more research, bamboo is fine for parrots........harmless, and they may enjoy chewing and destroying..........I have strarting giving my parrot some, and she enjoys chewing on it, like any wood.

Yes, bamboo is great to give to the birds. I'm trying to figure out where I can get some from.

I was reading that you can wrap your veges and fruit in bamboo leaves to get them to engage in a bit of foraging activity. If you want to see pictures, it's in the second Parrot Enrichment Activity Book, downloadable for free from http://www.parrotenrichment.com/
