Hi, I want to make a mini indoor garden for my birds! I would use a wide, shallow pot and it would have plants and a bowel of water in the middle, so the birds would be free to splash, forage, and poop.
Of course, I have concerns about safety.
I want to hear everyone's opinions, and would appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
If I end up making it, I will post it on DIY ideas!
Of course, I have concerns about safety.
- Dirt - I would get dirt from my garden and rinse it in a strainer and steam it, to hopefully get rid of most bacteria. I will put gravel on top and I won't use fertilizer.
- Plants - I was thinking herbs like rosemary, dandelion, oregano, and other plants tlike aloe vera, maiden hair fern, seeding grass. Even if they're typically safe, what are the chances of my birds eating too much of something and getting sick?
- Bacteria - even if I treat the dirt and put gravel on top, they will poop on it. Will this cause harmful bacteria to grow?
