Hi Tweeters,
I just bought a screech owl nest box made out of cedar, and cedar shavings
are included with the box. I've read (on the owlpages.com website) that
cedar fumes can be toxic to birds. Does anyone know if this is true? Can
I still use the box and replace the shavings with some other species' wood
chips? Another website I looked at suggested cedar as building
material...

Thanks!
