Australian Pine

Featured Replies

Posted

I was searching for a native, safe tree I can either plant in the aviary or prune its branches to give to the birds. And I found this one, which is everywhere in the yard.(the yard which is 28 acres..) It's an Australian Pine--though not actually a pine, just really looks like it--a casuarina something-or-other. It has seeds which parrots and lorikeets can eat as well, which is a bonus.

Here's some pictures of it:

What the pod holding the seeds looks like:

Just posting this for anyone who wants to know about a safe tree for parrots and loris, hope it's of help. The photos aren't the greatest but if you look up casuarina you'll find a lot more info.

Thanks Jen144, I'm always looking for something new and safe... :rolleyes:
