Cedar Shavings

Can cedar bark shavings be used in the bottom of my birds’ cages?

- Corrine P.

Cedar is generally not a good choice for bird cage liner, as the aromatic fumes from the essential oils can be irritating to their respiratory tracts. Ingestion of significant amounts of these oils can also produce gastrointestinal irritation and potentially even central nervous system depression in avians. Some alternatives to consider for lining your bird's cage include commercially available bird cage liners, plain paper or brown paper bags cut to size.
