This is every birds dream home, beautiful
the crew really enjoys it! Major chore to keep clean tho. How they can make the whole place look like I haven't cleaned in weeks in just 24 hours I don't know! Lol!!!

Not only fun but also very nice decorated! Those plants are real, right?
Yes they are. Spent quite a lot of time at the shop checking each latin name and if they were safe, but worth it! I chose mini-plants so they don't need too much place, but they can grow quite big. I'll see which survives to the point where I need larger shelves :D ...

It's a lot of work, I know! I have over 35 plants in my home. All bird safe. But because there is no real good database with a list of which plant is safe and which isn't, you have to do some digging. I have to warn you though, I have seen some list where they name some plants to be non toxic, but really are. I always look first at housplant411. The person who made that website really dove in toxicity levels of plants.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that! I always check several places for each plant and if I have any doubt I drop to buy it. My birds have been taught not to touch plants, and they really only land on one of them, a big palm that they don't damage since I chase them/pick them up if they land on it, but you never know, I'm not always there watching their every moves... I have a dragon tree that is not bird safe and stands a place they never visit, the others should be OK but I'll check again at housplant411.
