so i found a perfect tree for Butch (and any future birds) but i need to sanitize it somehow. i was thinking power washing it ??? suggestions? before i trimmed it:   then i trimmed the small branches:  top view:  i added 2 branches (middle) that i will tie on so it is easier for the birds to move around   |

oh my that's an AWESOME tree  ok, so fill up a tub of hot water and vinegar. boiling hot water, fill your bathtub with it with a bit of vinegar added. and then let it sun-dry for a day since it is way too big to fit in your oven. butch is gonna LOVE it!!! i cant wait to see the finished product! |

hickory. according to that "well known" list of safe and bad trees, it's safe. hickory trees always have the more interesting branches |

i had enough trouble bringing it into the house! it is probably 6' by 3'! i still think pressure washing it will get all the junk off of it
