wood

Hello everyone! I've got a quick question that I haven't been able to find a definitive answer to; Are the vines of the European Weeping Willow safe for Green Cheek Conures? Whatever articles I've come across claim the branches are safe, but recommend to remove the bark. However I'm not...

I have some time off and I've been meaning to make a nice stand for Kermit my GCC. We have some branches from a fig tree we cut down maybe a year ago; they've been sitting in the backyard. The tree wasn't around any pesticides so I know the wood is good. The thing is, the pieces are pretty...
