Could I cut a piece of Manzanita from a manzanita tree and use it for a perch for my Eclectus? Is there anything I need to do as far as drying or treating?
Manzanita's a great wood to use for a perch. You're lucky to have access to one - I wish I did! Like the person above me said, you'll want to bake it for about 20 minutes. I may just be paranoid, but with the amounts of pesticides and possible illnesses floating around outside, I'd boil it, too. Boil, bake, let it air dry, and it should be safe for your ekkie.

Manzanita Writers' Series welcomes Naseem Rakha
17.08.11
MANZANITA - Naseem Rakha will study from her book "The Crying
Tree" at the Manzanita Writers' Series event at 7 p.m. Saturday,
Aug. 20.
Set in southern Illinois and median Oregon, "The Crying Tree"
tells a story of a mother who must conquer the hate, grief and
secrets that surround the murder of her 15-year-old son, and repel
church and family as she attempts to stop the execution of the man
who killed her boy.
With the soul of a storyteller, Rakha explores the death
penalty and acquittance with her audience through the lens of our
justice system as well as subsequent interviews with offence victims,
inmates, corrections officials and exonerated expiration row
prisoners.
Publisher's Weekly says, "This complex, layered record of a
family's journey toward justice and forgiveness comes together
through enthralling storytelling."
The American Booksellers Association chose "The Crying Tree" for
its TOP 10 Indie Next roll for Reading Groups. The book has been
published in six international editions.
DIY Project: Manzanita Tree Centerpieces (Wish Tree, Crystal, etc!)
by admin
Manzanita branch trees have been growing in popularity in the wedding scene as both beautiful centerpieces and stunning decor (like a manzanita wish tree!). Tree centerpieces and decor give your wedding an ethereal, whimsical beauty that can give your wedding a modern fairy tale feel or even a lush green forest!
Buying them already made can be quite costly.. So why not make them yourself? The branches aren’t exactly cheap -BUT- it is much cheaper than buying the whole tree already completed. You could also skip using manzanita branches altogether and gather branches from your backyard for an even cheaper alternative!
You will need (for one tree):
Manzanita Branch(es) or branches you have gathered in the park/backyard (Make sure you allow them to dry out a bit before building!) Also - If you plan on hanging heavier objects from the branches (like votives) make sure the branches you have collected/purchased are strong enough to hold them without breaking. You don’t want your guests attacked by falling candles! Container to use as a base of the tree (A pretty wide mouth vase, a cute pail, a clean flower pot…Use your imagination! Just make sure the mouth of the container is wide enough to allow arranging of the branches.) Something to keep the branches in place (I have seen marbles, river rocks, floral foam, aqua beads, etc!) If you use floral foam you will want to hide the foam with marbles, rocks or moss when you have finished arranging. Optional: Silver/White paint(or any color you like!), Glitter paint, Glitter & Glue (If you do not want to leave the branches in their natural state!) Things to hang/decorate the branches - The possibilities are endless! Butterflies, silk or preserved flowers (preserved orchids would be stunning!), strands of crystal, lush...
