| I have never heard of Lilac as being one of the safe woods. If you
are having the Tstand built, and plan to use it for a long time
I would think it makes sense to invest the little bit extra in the
Mazinita. If you would really like to use local materials though
there are plenty of Apple, Oak or Maple trees around, which are
safe as long as you disinfect them with bleach or heat.
I like to use Apple for my Budgies.

| Lilac buds and twigs are among the favorite Winter foods for deer.
It is conceivable that there is some toxic substance in the wood that
deer can tolerate, but tropical birds cannot. However, I've got a
house full of healthy birds sitting and chewing on lilac branches.
I'm more concerned with what insecticides might be found on someone
else's apple branches. I own the lilacs.

| Steve, thanks so much for the response. You bring up a good point since
there has been an apple scare.
How long have you been using lilac branches? It would be nice to get
this stand finished and feel good about it.
Thanks, Lianne and Ubu

Merlin, our timneh, presides over the kitchen from a seven-foot tall
lilac branch. He was our first parrot, and he's been there for two
years.
Enjoy your stand.
