Hi! Yet a great video - bit in my opinion you are a bit wrong to say that all these plants are poison to our birds. Many may be to humans but not the same for birds - and if so, then very mildly. The birds will just stop eating them. So very good to focus on plants - but it is a shame if people wont use many of these beautiful plants in their aviary. Many of these I use already or would not hessitate to use 😊👍 Nevertheless, a huge effort to make this video 👍

Woww, Tremenda informacion!!!
So many plants I didn't know were toxic to birds! Gracias

[tmmisunderstood]

great video make a video what types of plants we can keep!!

Some of the plants you posted are great food source for bees and butterflies. Birds, bees and butterflies share the same habitats naturally, forming healthy food chain.

Hello. Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy them. I see that you put your egg food on the ground, so I was wondering how you keep those areas clean? Doesn’t the egg food get down into the soil and rot?

Hi great video what plants do you recommend in a large walk-in aviary

Figs are poisonous to birds? Birds love fig fruits! The sap from the branch cuts is irritating to some people, but I have never seen any bird bothered by the sap. No, they don’t eat the sap or play with the sap.

Gracias amigo por la información👌😉un saludo

apples and apricots are not poisonous in any way, only their seeds contain amygdalin, but no astrilde is able to split apricot kernels and apple seeds would have to eat a lot, and he will not do it because they are inside the apple

Encouragement

Right now you may be going through the hardest time you've ever faced. Your life may be unsettled and things may look hopeless. There seems to be no way out for you and every avenue you turn to fills you with more stress, confusion and weariness. But Jesus says "I know what you're going through. Come and rest in My peace." In the midst of your troubles, when you call on Him, the Holy Spirit will fill you with the peace of Christ. People will point to you and say, "How can he do it? How does he go on? He should have quit long ago. Yet he hasn't given up. And through it all, he hasn't compromised anything, he

believes in his God and His word. What amazing peace! It's beyond understanding." (Philippians 4:7)
