Parrot trees for medium sized birds

[Nuesha]

I was wondering if any of you know of a trusted website that sells trees at a good price.

(and ships to canada!)

I know this isn't what you wanted to know but...what about making your own, just get an interesting bit of tree, fasten it onto one of those heavy iron Xmas tree holders. If the bit of tree doesn't have enough branches you can just add more on by screwing them to the tree. I've made these for years now and Dusty loves them.

Could you perhaps show pictures? Thanks!

the trees up where I live are toxic, and most I don't even know what they are so I wouldn't take the chance. :\

I do not know of any spray paint that is not toxic for parrots, so unless you can find one, I would not suggest spray painting it. Your parrot will likely be poisoned because they tend to chew on the bars of the cages

here ya go...... from what i have read, all trees are NOT equal for birds. some can be toxic.

i ran accross this ad and from what i can tell it seems to be a good fit for birds. AND its fairly cheap all things considered. it would help if you are a bit handy with a drill.

if this wood is not suitable for all birds i would hope somebody would chime in.

if you google manzanita wood there are other places to investigate as well. this one seemed to fit my needs

I bought some materials from my local craft stores and they worked wonderfully. Still, I made the stand for a parrotlet so I know he doesnt weigh too much!! = )
