Does anyone know if lavender stalks (very few, if any buds will be on them) are safe to line the cage with? I have a grate bottom so the birds won't actually get to them….although there is the chance one will poke through.
Thanks,

"Scents from candles, pine room sprays, room deodorizers can be deadly. No potpourri, please. Instead, use herbal potpourris you prepare yourself. Bowls of lavender flowers, dried basil leaves, lemon verbena, cinnamon sticks with dried orange peels, all make great scent potpourris that won't poison your bird. Don't use an essential oil diffuser either." (no glad plug-ins)
