Question
i was wondering if it would be safe for a severe mini macaw to have and chew on mesquite wood.
thank you

Answer
Dear Wendy,
thank you for your question.
Mesquite wood can be used for birds. I have found several websites with lists for safe and unsafe wood and mesquite is always among the safe woods.
