Hi i was wondering if that green moss stuff that grows on branches is toxic to our feathered friends?

It is best not to offer the mold or whatever is growing on the trees. Respiratory infections are a big deal for a bird.

I don't have any info at my elbow but basically you get some non-toxic tree branch - clipped or trimmed form a non sprayed tree. At home wash it down - remove bark if it is questionable, put it in the oven at 250 for about an hour.

here's a good link for reference.
