The Budgies will enjoy stripping the bark themselves !

wild birds carry diseases ...which can be passed on through there poo..... and also just being in contact with the branches .....you maybe lucky and have nothing go wrong ...but it could also go very wrong...... and kill all your budgies .........or make them very ill giving you a masive vet bill trying to get them back to health.....your choice ....i no which one i would do..........  |

What can happen if not cleaned as my mum seems to think it would be fine without cleaning You can also get fungal spores residing in the bark and knots etc. The scrubbing action removes a whole lot more germs than a soapy soak. And a good drying in the sun after washing is as beneficial as a lot of disinfectants |
