I don't know if Cedar wood is or not.....
I saw a vid. somewhere of a bird that was completely bald all over........they said it was because he was housed with cedar chips as bedding.....
I don't think you're confused.....
chips of cedar wood...that's what I'm assuming you're thinking  |

Cedar shavings are extremely toxic for birds, I believe they cause allergic reactions and dermatitis as well, which I would imagine can cause the feathers to fall out.
Why, do you use them? |
