Hi, Up until now I have been using branches from my neighbours bottle brush tree in my Aviarys and their realestate has cut them down. I hav a Jacaranda Tree in my yard but was not sure if it is safe for the birds to be chewing on? Does anyone know??

My botany notes list it as 'attracting birds' which would seem to suggest that it is safe for them ;)Here you go, bird safe flowers: ;)AcaciaAnise (Pimpinella anisum)African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulata)Apple blossum (Malus domestica)Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum)Basil (Ocimum basilicum)Bee balm (Monarda)Borage blossoms (Borago officinalis)Bottlebrush (Callistemon spp.)Calendula (Pot Marigold) (Calendula officinalis)Carnations (Dianthus caryophyllus) Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)Chives (allium schoenoprasum)Coriander/cilantro (Coriandrum sativum)DaisesDandelion (Taraxacum)Daylily (Hemerocallis spp.)Dill (Anethum graveolen)Elderberry (Sambucus spp.)EucalyptusFennel (Foeniculum vulgare)Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides)Garlic (Allium sativum L.)GladiolusGrapefruit (Citrus x paradise)HibiscusHoneysuckle (Lonicera)ImpatiensJarcaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia)Kumquat (various Fortunella species)Lilac (Oleaceae Syringa) Lime (Citrus aurantifolia)Lemon (Citrus × lemon)Milk thistle (Silybum species)Melalecuca (Melaleuca quinquinervia)Nasturtiums Orchid tree (Bauhinia verigata)Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus)Orange (Citrus sinensis)Oregano (Origanum vulgare)Pansies (Viola tricolor)Passion flowers (Passifloraceae Passiflora)Petunia (Petunia spp.)Plum (Prunoideae Prunus)Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo or Cucurbita mixta)Roses/Rose hips (Rosoideae Rosa)Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)Runner Beans (Phaseolus coccineus)Sage (Salvia officinalis)Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus)Thyme (Lamiaceae Thyme)Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo.)Violets (Violaceae Viola)

Thankyou!! Thats really going to help.. I'm searching all of my familys houes for trees.

That is from an American source which doesn't include our Aussie plants so of course you can also include any of the Eucalypts, Acacias, Grevilleas, etc in there.

 

I have lots of botany books here so if you find one you aren't sure about and you know what it is PM me and I'll see if there is anythin in my notes about it :hap:
