Posted August 19, 200817 yr I have seen photos of Eucalyptus branches with leaves hung in cages, is this for the birds to eat, play with or just to rip up? :mellow: Obviously its safe....
August 19, 200817 yr Mostly mine love tearing the bark off. It's good natural enrichment for them :hap:
August 19, 200817 yr It's very VERY good for them. It is a form of entertainment, but most importantly the wood, bark and leaves contain vital nutritional elements that no other food can give. They should have access to fresh branches every day :hap:
August 19, 200817 yr Author Thanks Guys, Branches in the cage now... he has already started to tear at them! :hap:
August 19, 200817 yr GREAT!!! He'll love you for it. Just remember to hose/wash them down before putting them in as this removes any nasties etc...

September 4, 200816 yr Author Fantastic Just remember to always wash New branches and Natural perches prior to putting them in the cage or aviary Thanks I am making sure of that.... I also am going to try some of the seeded grasses coming up in some of the parks close by... long stem with brown seed, I remember my Grandmother feeding it to her birds and they seemed to love it!

Watch out as they spray for weeds in parks.
