Aussie Finch Forum

Can anyone tell me what this plant is, looks Christmas tree like (pine) but it's really soft.
And is it safe for budgies/finches??? (sorry if the pics are too big sometimes my resizing doesn't work)
Cheers, Mike

Woollybush, Adenanthos sericeus. Holds together really well after cut, great for bushing out the aviary.

I got it from my mates house yesterday his dad pruned the plants in the front yard. His got piles of it.

If you have a planted aviary Adenanthos make a great addition but can get a bit scraggly if the light is poor or unevenly spread so a small parrot or regular pruning will help.

Just put it in the aviary.

I have 3 of these Wooly pines in the garden just for aviary use. Nice and soft and they seem to stay green for quite a while too. I usually hose them down in the summer before putting them in the aviary.
