Reply With Quoteplenty of willow and poplar and this is good wood to use.
I have a 1 1/2 year old African Grey named Boo-Boo. He can chew a woden toy to pieces in one day. I mean the big ones! What I was thinking is cutting my own wood into different shapes and hanging them in his/her cage. Now, what I need to know is what type of wood should I use. Don`t know much about wood so I don`t really know where to start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by Boo-Boo and me too! He`s a sweetie and I want to keep him happy and chewing sure does do that! Thanks in advance, Alice

.I prefer poplar wood from my grey because it doesn`t splinter badly. Also, I think the texture of the wood is just right. Pine wood is too soft--not enough of a challenge--and oak wood is too hard, so he gives up on it.
it, and the birds love all of them too.
The BEST source of information about parrots in general and Greys in particular is Parrot Talk Connection. Here is the web address. www.parrottalk.com/ Among the articles you should be able to find the one about wood. Some wood is poisonous , or contains too much tannins ( such as oak) etc. Fruit wood such as apple is ideal. But you will find many more at that address. Lorraine
