Thanks Karen - I ordered some from a link someone on here posted. The web site states other people have been ordering it for their birds. I'll have to see if the site says what kind of variety it is.

Thanks Steph, I also would be interested to know what varieties are safe.

There are over five hundred varieties and of those 11 are edible.

Yucca is also on the bad list posted in this thread, and it is sold as toys! What's up with that, anyone know?

I have also seen Yucca wood pieces and I think perches also, if I'm not mistaken. The what's toxic and what's not lists get so confusing at times! Are there possibly two types of Yucca, a plant and tree?

I read that the Yucca seeds are considered a pergatory and the roots have a high content of HCN.

This site lists names and pictures and their toxicity level and primary poison.

I was just getting worried all my birds love blue gum branches and leaves, I am glad it is the safe eucalyptus. They also enjoy mullberry and lemon tree.
