Bird Safe Plants-

The following is a list of plants that are safe around birds. They can be ingested and/or played with or on by hookbills.(*Note: Nothing is safe is pesticides and/or toxic chemicals have been sprayed on or around the plants. Before using in cages or aviaries, scrub branches with a non-toxic disinfectant, such as diluted chlorine bleach, rinse well and allow to dry.) Please, if any of the plants on this list are toxic, please e-mail me and let me know so that it can be deleted. Thanks!
