Post: Eucalyptus perches

Posted by Emma on 11/05/05

I have a nice eucalyptus tree that grows at the bottom of
my garden, and today my dad and I cut off some nice
branches with leaves on and put them in the aviary
('tiels, barrabands, canaries, Bourkes, redrumps etc). I
have read on many sites on the internet that eucalyptus
trees are really good for birds' immune systems. However I
have also read on some sites that eucalyptus is toxic, but
there is no explanation given. I was wondering if anyone
could elaborate on this for me, the perches have been up
for about 8 hrs now and although it is night time now, all
the birds looked to be enjoying them hugely.

Many thanks for any information you're able to give
