Hello,
For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to figure out if oak
hardwood is poisonous to birds and in that time I have gotten all
kinds of different information. First I went to a local pet store and
noticed that oak was used on some of the bird toys. Then I talked
with a veterinarian (which I would consider professional advice) and
he told me that oak was not poisonous to birds. Then I went to
www.peteducation.com and read that oak was highly poisonous and it can
cause diarrea, anorexia and other things. Since then I have talked to
several people who stated that they used oak all the time for their
birds and was quite shocked that I thought it was poisonous. So I am
still confused. I know that the foliage and the acorns are poisonous
but is the wood itself?
Thank you,
Trevor
