Hi, I'm looking at rescuing a 5 year old vos eclectus parrot, all going in her favour I should be able to pick her up in 19 days. She will be my first parrot (other than childhood budgies)
I'm currently setting up her birdie apartment and have been reading that natural wooden perches are the best to use, and I was wondering if these had to be purchased from a store, or if it is perfectly fine do do a bit of DIY? We have a few gum trees out the front and there are great fallen branches that would make for great perches. Would I need to treat these in some way? I know we get a lot of magpies, rosellas and other birds in those trees, so is there a way to make them safe for my incoming feather baby?
