The other thing I wanted to ask is - has anyone had any experience with building a wooden aviary for their parrots. I have read that IRN's will chew apart a wooden aviary. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?? Also, what is the safest wood to use when building an aviary? (i am not sure if I will use wood yet but I would like to know this before I decide so I can weigh all the options up)
I have also read that parrots can get zinc poisoning from the wire if they use their beak to climb around on it. I remember reading somewhere on here that scrubbing the wire with vinegar removes the zinc. How often would this need to be done? Are there any types of aviary wire that don't require this to be done?
Thanks in advance for any help
