bird safe plants

Post by adamharbeck » Thu Jul 10, 2014 9:40 pm

There are heaps of online articles about which plants are safe for birds, but I can't find anything about which plants will be safe FROM birds!

My friend has had a huge planted aviary built for canaries and button quail, but all her planting efforts have been for nothing because all the plants (grevilleas,agonis, pomegranates, ferns and liriopes) have been decimated by the canaries.

Are there any plants which are unpalatable to birds and will be left alone?

Thanks in advance,
Adam
