lovely photo Pam, would budgies eat these

Brill photo.

Well, I hang 3 or 4 branches on the wire in my little bird room and all the birds including the Budgies have a go at it, so I can't think that it can hurt them. All my birds including the Cockatoos, Parrots, Cockatiels, Rosa Bourkes, Kakariki, Pacific Parrotlet,Budgies Senegals, Conures etc., enjoy eating and tearing the branches to bits.

Thanks Carol, she does love her berries! There are Elderberry bushes over there too and I can give them the berries of that too. They haven't ripened as yet. They can also have Rowan berries.

What a great tip Pamazon.We have a hawthorn but never tried our African Grey Mary with them before.Noticed if give her a small bunch of grapes she often eats the woody stems first ! Lol Made her perches from apple branches too as she loves to strip them of the bark !!

They do BB. They love to strip every leaf and chew up the branches, plus the added vitamins the berries give. As long as they are washed first to make sure there are no bird droppings or anything on them. There is virtually nothing left when mine have finished LOL. It's really good therapy for them too, to have a good old chew and strip!

Hello Mabel, pleased to see you enjoying your Hawthorn berries, same colour as your lovely back feathers, Enjoy!

Gave Mary bunches of Elderberries last year and she loved them.Will do the same this year when they ripen.Will definitely try the hawthorn too...thanks again for the tip Pamazon !

Thanks PP and BB, it is nice to give them something to pass the time with isn't it? They love destroying all the branches :o)
