Loose Pinecones (washed and safe)

Pinecones are great for your bird to chew and you can also hide treats inside them. A natural, safe seed pod that will bring most breeds of bird a lot of enjoyment.

To ensure they are clean and safe, these Pinecones have been briefly soaked in a solution of F10 veterinary disinfectant and lightly scrubbed to remove any debris, before being dried in the sun. Sometimes there is dried sap residue or other slight imperfections, that are natural and normal with these seed pods. Each pinecone varies in size and some examples are shown in photographs. Where available a fair mix will be provided or if you specify your birds’ breed in checkout notes, I will try to choose suitable pods for them.

You can also select to have holes drilled in the side of the pinecones, to thread them onto wire yourself. These will be 3-4.5mm holes that will suit stainless steel wire and some small skewers. Large skewers and ropes are generally unsuitable for Pinecones as I’m not able to drill larger holes in them without breaking the core. The hole is drilled through the side of the pinecone (going through the core in the middle). This is normally between one third and half of the way up the pinecone, from the base. It means the pinecone sits sideways on the wire. Some photos show an example of the drill hole location.
