Hi I give my budgies gum branches and grevillia branches to chew on, I do rinse them under running water first, but is their any concern about mites or parasites from wild birds being on the branches that will affect my budgies????

I don't think you have to worry about mites, the chances would be pretty remote, of getting them just from branches, most mites live on the birds themselves.

I would not worry. Great for the birds, they love the different flavours. Some say the Eucalyptus is like a ntural medicine for them anyway.

Agree with previous comments. Also try them with leaves and branches from the peppermint tree. ........and hibiscus.

thankyou for your help

Kaz, do you know what kind of hibiscus you give to your birds? Maybe I can get it here . I'm trying to find the right Eucalyptus for ages, but I'm afraid to use the once they sell here :sad:

Thanks a lot
