Eucalyptus trees have a special place in the life of the wild budgerigar
AND
Should also have a place in your budgies bird cage.
Eucalyptus leaves are tough and leathery with a waxy coating. Because they have evolved in the hot, dry Australian outback they conserve their moisture. That's why they're still fresh when they reach you.
In Australia the budgerigar has evolved alongside the Eucalyptus tree for well over a million years during which it developed an intimate bond with the tree and its leaves. Budgies live, breed, nest and roost in certain species of Eucalyptus trees.
What’s in Eucalyptus Leaves That Budgies need?
Trace elements and lysine (the breeding protein) are found in the bark and leaves and breeding hens will shred these materials in an effort to take in these essential nutrients. Methionine (an essential sulphurous amino acid) is found in Eucalyptus leaves and is important in the prevention of beak and claw disorders as well as contributing to healthy feather development. Vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid is also found in Eucalyptus leaves and, perhaps above all, they provide your pet bird with the Dietary Fibre that is lacking in commercially manufactured supplements.
Contained in the oil in the leaves are medicinal properties that stimulate the immune system and promote a strong natural resistance to disease. The addition of Eucalyptus leaves to the diet can also put a stop to upper respiratory infections before they get out of hand. They’re bacteriocidal too and act against internal (gut) parasites so they keep your pet healthy
