| 132.1 | Apple tree limbs! | EUREKA::WHITE | the PARROT_TROOPER | Wed Mar 01 1989 13:40 | 8 |
Don't rightly know about that, but the 'best' parrot/macaw perches
I've found to date have been APPLE LIMBS......They can chew the
bark off, but cant get into the pulp, not even cockatoos (these
can make 10000 boxes of tooth picks out of a 2 X 4 in a matter of
minutes. In the springtime, the orchards will sometimes allow the
taking of limbs after the trees are trimmed for the growing season.

| 132.2 | Manzanita Locations | DUNCE::KIRSCHBAUM | And so it Goes... | Wed Mar 01 1989 14:41 | 10 |
Manzanita is a VERY hard wood, fairly impervious to all but the
largest Macaws. It is non-toxic to birds, as was pointed out in
the previous note, so are apple, but you ought to boil or bake any
branches you get fresh off of a tree. There are places listed in
Bird Talk that will Mail Order specified branch sizes.
Animal Environments will also mail order by diameter and length.
Also, Boston Pet has various lengths of Manzanita branches in stock.

Manzanita is an extremely common (here in the west) scrub bush that
grows in the high desert and chapparal zones. As the previous note
stated, Very hard; Sometimes called scrub oak.
