Indoor citrus trees???

[gibson2503]

I've been reading about people having indoor citrus trees. They just keep pruning them to keep them small enough to be inside. I'm interested in having one in my house. Would it be safe for my sun conure to have a living citrus tree? Would the bark, leaves, or skins of the fruit be harmful if he were to fly to it?

Yes, citrus trees are safe for birds here is my source. Bird; Birds: Safe, Toxic Trees, Woods. Safe Tree Wood. Parrots. Parrot cages. I'm not sure about the leaves or flowers though.

Yes, all parts of citrus trees are safe. But, they require a lot of sunshine to thrive. Especially if you want fruit.

Its not so much a question if the tree is safe for the bird, its would the bird destroy the tree? Mine love to heavily "prune" any tree they can.
