Branches


What type of tree branch would be safe for my parakeet?


Answer:

Hi Lori,

The best thing to do is search online for safe wood or branches for parrots. There are a number of lists online. You need to make sure the tree has ever been treated with pesticides, then you need to clean and disinfect the branch and make sure there are not any insects or parasites on it. You can also find natural branches online and at pet shops that already have the hardware to attached to the cage and have been cleaned and disinfected for you.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
