Hello,

What kind of wood does someone suggest for large macaws and where can you get it. I'm using pine and the are chewing it like toothpicks. I don't have many trees around my property. Thanks a bunch.

Manzanita, You can get it on e-bay or various online supply places.

It's extremely hard & varied in size. It should work well for you. It does for me.

Hickory is a lot stronger. My macaws chew up manzanita in a few days, but hickory lasts a year or longer.

I use Java wood perches from King's Cages in the jumbo size and they work great even for the Beaver macaws! I have also used hickory and oak too.
