Question ??.Parrotlet SAFE tree.??

Okay so I found this website Stanley Parrotlet - Home
Is this tree safe for my parrotlets ... if so, what kind of tree is it?
If it isn't is there any small trees like this that would be safe for a parrotlet?
I don't care if they destroy the leaves and stuff I just want a more natural play area... and it will clean up the air in my house

ANy other plants or suggestion would be appreciated!

It is parrot safe but make sure you are getting an actual "money tree". There are quite a few different kinds and the ones that I saw that said they are parrot safe have the scientific name Pachira Aquatica.

An umbrella tree is labeled as both safe and unsafe.... there are like 4 or 5 different trees that are labled as "umbrella trees", but only 1 is safe for birds...

The same thus applies to "money tree" plants... The Jade Plant Commonly known as jade plant, friendship tree or Money Plant, Crassula ovata is labeled safe.

The Pachira aquatica (aka another "money tree") I can't seem to find on any lists safe or toxic lists, so it's best to be safe than sorry... however, this is the plant that is depicted on the website that you listed...

Here's a couple good pages on safe/toxic trees!
