Anyone got a list of safe trees?

[bug_n_flock]

Talking fresh and whole. Which is a different question from just the woods themselfs.

I'm in a situation where it is safe to cut fresh branches and whole saplings for my birds, and I would like to. I am isolated from any roads or anything like that and I do not spray anything and the surrounding lands are all hunting forest and not managed with any sprays or anything like that. The nearest spot that gets sprayed is down a cliff, across a creek, and thru some trees. To be safe tho I would cut from the other side of my 60 acre property.

Look at the recent thread entitled "Leg Band Look up for Fellow Canadians". There's a link in this thread that has a list of bird safe plants and trees.
There are other threads that include such lists, top.
It sounds like the plants on your property are chemical free.

Here's a list I made. It's pretty comprehensive but might not have every tree you're considering, depending on where you live.

I decided to compile an alphabetical list of every bird-safe wood I could find. This may not be fully comprehensive or correct. Please do your own research if you are unsure.
