What kinds of glue are non toxic to budgies. can i use wood glue , or pva??

More information......where do you plan on using it and how ?

umm, was going to try to build a play gym out of paddle pop sticks or wood or somthing.

An easy playgym can be made by finding a safe twiggy branch and setting it in a pot with plaster........so you have a kinhd of bare tree in a pot. Then you set about decorating it with hanging toys, plastic bracelets etc. Good to put in a room where the budgie flys around so it has somewhere to land on, climb about and play. No glue. The plaster is safe, and you can have fun decorating it with toys.

ohh okay

Very easy to make and very cheap :budgiedance:

just have to find a brach now

Would this work ?? looks wierd to me, how would it even perch? ohh and ill cut the root off.

 

 

also is this twine safe anyone used it before?*will it fray?*

 

The branch looks good. Go over it and cut a couple of bits off. It will be like a playgym for climbing around on more than anything. The string looks fine ...what are you using the string for anyway ?

 

Is the branch from the list of safe wood ?

ohh right forgot to mention its cherry tree. ill just check that. and i was planning on making some toys out of the twine and it was pretty cheap to.

Maybe not..........found this on the net

 

Cherry Some sources debate about cherry wood being bad to pet birds, for a lack of substantial confirmed cases - although confirmed cases of problems for a few dogs and horses is apparent. Some folks lean toward using cherry wood, but not the bark, under the premise that the chemicals are primarily in the cambium - layer under the bark. Do you know what that layer is? Do you see what I'm getting at here? When there are an abundance of sure safe woods, why use one that has bark with potential bad stuff in it? Suppose there are no confirmed cases of dead birds from cherry. If cherry turns out to be a subtle problem, would you want your bird to be the first confirmed case? I suspect there are cases not documented. There must be hundreds of birds dying each year due to real causes that we don't know about.

ahh $H!T hmm, we just swed the root off and gave it a trim now i gotta convince my dad thats its bad for them. We put it in a barel of water so it softens up so we can make the branches a little more horizontil. *maybe i should just sabotage it* and say it was a accident because before when i told him let me check if its safe his like pffts safe how can the wood not be safe. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Get dad and you to go for a little drive and look for a good gum tree branch.

hmm he listened, i might go to a park and get some gum tree branches.

Another website has cherry tree on the not safe list.................

 

List of Plants & Branches Hazardous to Birds

 

Cherry Tree -- bark, twigs, seeds, and leaves

im just gunna break it and throw it away.

hmm :yes: he listened, i might go to a park and get some gum tree branches.

 

 

If you cant get one good one, get few and join them together. Also be careful as some parks spray for weeds and if you pick up a branch off the ground and its been sprayed

who said anything about the ground??. :yes: na kidding i mgiht just get wood and stick em together into a tree kinda thing. how should i stick em nails?
