Eucalyptus camaldulensis?

Hi everyone! Been a while since I last posted! I've been on holiday in Sardinia, Italy. Unusually for Europe, Australian Eucalyptus grows there (I think it was originally planted to dry the land up or against insects or something?). I collected a little for the birds- but I'm a bit uncertain because although it's the same plant, it's not actually from Australia, and I don't know anything about plants!

Would it be safe to give them it? I believe it is Eucalyptus camaldulensis. Naturally I'll clean it very thoroughly, drying etc.

Yeah I've seen a few people who give their tiels Eucalyptus, but with it not actually being from Australia I'm a bit unsure!

If it’s the same species as any of our eucalyptus trees then it should be fine.

I’m a little lost/confused with the description of where it comes from so I’ll assume you mean that it is an Australian plant species that was introduced to the area you collected it from many years ago and is now grown there even though the area is not its native land.

Yep, exactly right. It was introduced there at some point so I collected some for the birdies.

I will get cleaning and let you guys know what Jabel make of it!

They did that is the little area I used to live here in Spain. It was a small neighbourhood on the edge of the beach and it would flood in the winter very easily and often back in the day. So many eucalyptus were planted there all around the perimeter. It doesn´t flood anymore, well, one road does still get a foot of water, but the houses don´t go underwater.
