We recently received this email from a customer:
I was looking at your nest box cams and noticed that your shop
carries cedarwood nest boxes. Not sure if these are somehow treated to prevent
off-gassing, but cedar wood is particularly poisonous to birds, especially when
the wood has been cut.
I apologize if this is a null point and a response that
you get often. On a forum recently we had a person who saw cedarwood nest boxes
and decided to make some himself, causing the poisoning and near death of one
of his parrots from the finished box being in his bird room.
Assuming these
boxes are treated and fine, perhaps a note with them to prevent such things
from happening and from diligent customers like myself writing in. I hope the
fact that we’re most likely going to purchase a nest cam from your shop in the
not-too-distant future will make up for my need to write in.
Thanks.
Our answer - Yes they are safe!
Audubon, & Cornell Ornithology Lab sell cedar birdhouses.
No reputable birdhouse…
