Hi! I just wash them to clean them off, let dry in the sun if they are twiggy branches. If I’m making perches than I first wash them with pressure washer and scrub them with F10, allow to sun dry and than bake. If branches are too large for my oven than I allow them to completely dry out in the sun. Also, all the branches and wood I do give them is from trees that have never been sprayed and grow far from any roads or traffic.

I love your posts! I am also a parrot blogger and would love to exchange links with you 🙂
I’d love to 🙂
Im concerned on what you do to prevent the bugs on the willow branches you make. What process do you have so I know my birds won’t get sick.
