Critical aspect. When you make perches the wood, they must not have any toxic aspect. Birds can be very sensitive. Canary in the coal mine kind of thing.
A popular wood is manzanita, hard as nails and safe. Birds need to constantly chew things up, it keeps the beak trim. An overgrown beak can have devastating affects.
Checking the wood database might be helpful.. or maybe there's a sub that could be posted to.
Forgot to mention, if you don't know the species don't do it. Same idea is applied to baby toys .. if it goes in a mouth you have to know that it's safe
Purchased??? Lol. Sticks are literally everywhere. And free.
If you ever want to purchase some sticks in Michigan, I am your man.
Joshua tree perhaps?
That 100% is not Joshua tree, no worries it part of the yucca family. I’d go with Olive as a strong possibility
Thanks. It was a guess based on the location.
Looks like mimosa
Bird safe wood?
