thanks leonie,

i also messaged adam, he said it okay, his birds have a plant! and back i go to put the plants back in!!!

 

thanks everyone!

I think dave can tell us it is a safe plant seeings as his birds love it

my birds love callistemons. They have eaten it for years, and there have been no problems at all.

It's a good thing mine love it, it's their job to consume the massive amounts I prune off our bottlebrush hedge :laughter:
