Is Banksia safe for IRN's

Post by willowisp71 »

Hi there,

Just wanted to check if anyone knew if the bark, wood, leaves and flowers of the Australian Banksia tree are safe for ringnecks? I found a Safe/Unsafe Tree list, and it's not listed as either......there's a pic of the tree at the link below;

Thanks

Thanks Molossus!

And yes, although the banksia flower is most popular with our honey-eaters, cockatoo's also enjoy a bit of a forage amongst them too. I did find an article on google that said it was safe for a number of different parrots, (cockatoo's, eclectus etc) but IRN's weren't mentioned in the list, so thought it better to double check :)

Thanks again for your help :D
Regards Deb
