As we live in Australia and have gum trees everywhere...I would say ANYTHING off a GUM TREE Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

Here are two websites which list safe materials suitable for perches. Hope they help.

Just be sure to wash them in warm water and dry in the sun before putting them into your cage!

If the ground looks like it has been sprayed for weeds then you are in trouble.

well lets just say that the council around here doesnt really care much for my park it has got weeds all through it but they did mow the lawns recently so its possible...

Wherever you get them from, make sure you give them a really good scrub in hot water, and then dry them out in the sun. :yellowhead: My guys love the branches i get them from the park, especially the ones that are forked or slightly twisted in shape.
