Wat is a large cotton plantation?
It%26#039;s a large farm with acres of cotton growing. You see a lot of them in the south. Without cotton you probably wouldn%26#039;t have many of the clothes you wear.
Reply:one section of land 640 acres should fit the bill

Is it safe to make a perch from a tree branch for my budgie so he has a natural wood perch?

I want to give him a variety of perches. He has shop bought wood ones and a cotton rope perch already. I thought a natural wood one would be a good addition. Is wood from any tree safe to use?

Is it safe to make a perch from a tree branch for my budgie so he has a natural wood perch?
Not all tree branches can be used, some are toxic and will kill your bird, you also need to make sure that they have not been sprayed with fertilisers or pesticides.


Fruit trees are safe to use.


You can also use Sycamore and Elder branches, just clean the branches first in case they have been pooed on by wild birds.


Dowel perches from the pet shop are uniform in shape and are not good for your birds feed, you need to offer a variety of different shaped and textured perches.


Concrete are a good choice as they help to keep nails and beak trimmed, my African Grey uses his to clean his beak after eating his fruit. Although they do need other perches, as using concrete ones permanently can irritate their feet.


I also have a mineral perch that he can stand on but also eat.


The cotton rope ones are also good as they are texture and not smooth.


The plastic tube ones need to be avoided as they can harbour bugs inside, and are not healthy for the feet.


Just provide a few different types of perch and your bird should have healthy feet.
Reply:Sure you can keep wooden perches made by yourself or brought from outside. This gives a natural look and budgies will often rub their beak in the rough surface of the wooden perch. I who am in India made perches from neem tree branches.
Reply:Of course! Why wouldn%26#039;t it be? Just make sure it%26#039;s an appropriate size for his feet (not too wide or too slim), securely attached to the cage, and is free of any parasites or mold. He should be fine!
Reply:yes it would be very nice. in fact, it is good to have several of different types of wood so that their feet dont get some kind of infection or callace. Here is a list of bird-safe plants and types of wood.

I sure hope i helped you =]]]
Reply:I%26#039;ve heard that parasites are embedded in tree branches. At some point I read that you could take the natural branches and bake them in your oven to kill the parasites. Then they will be perfectly safe and a nice addition to you habitat.
Reply:Yes that is better than any perch, ecalyptus is great and acts as a pest deterrant as well.
Reply:Make sure the branch comes from a tree that is safe for birds,examine the brach carefully ,it should be a healthy branch ,well rounded %26amp; of suitable thickness,without any protrusions or thorny outgrowths that could cauce injury,then proceed to fix it securely to the cage %26amp; watch your budgie have fun ,


Natural wood gives your budgie a feel of nature ,also gives an appealing look to the cage .
Reply:yeaaass..


DEFINATELY


it is actually good.


its good for his feet :]





make sure theirs no little spiky cit thats he can stand on and hurt him self though :] :P
Reply:Some branches are very toxic to budgies, however if you get a safe branch your budgie will love you for it.

What are the uses of tea tree oil??

I just bought some tea tree oil from the store today, because I have bad acne. But I%26#039;m not really sure how to use it? Do I use a cotton ball or mix it with anything? What else can I use it on (I.E. Hair, nails etc.)? Are there any common side effects I should know about? And are you supposed to use it on your face regularly or just when you break out??? If you can answer all of these questions withing reason, you won yourself 10 points!!!!

What are the uses of tea tree oil??
OOOOHHHH!!


I love tea tree oil!!


It has so many uses!!





Fist I%26#039;ll start with your specific questions..


I too have suffered with acne..


Tea tree oil can be a great helper in the battle against acne.





But..you also need other things to help with it too..mostly, a good cleanser..a natural cleanser is best, and a moisturizer is important too..one that is not too oily.





Side effects?? Well..most natural products won%26#039;t have harmful sideeffecs.But one thing that happens with tea tree oil, is that it if you put it on a pimple, it will dry that pimple out..so you may be a bit flaky on that area.





Try applying with a cotton ball..Mix 4-5 drops of the tea tree oil with a tablespoon of water, and use the tea tree oil as a sort of toner..Or apply it straight up on pesky looking zits.





Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic..which means You can use it on cuts and scratches..it works really well for bug bites too.Sunburns..poison ivy..wounds.ear infections..bee stings.


Toothpastes and mouthwashes containing tea tree oil are shown to be effective for a number of oral problems. Some of these include halitosis (bad breath), gum disease, and canker sores





Also and anti fungal..it works very well in shampoo to cure dandruff.It leaves your scalp with a very clean fresh feeling!





Man..I even use it to clean the house!!


I dunked the stove element with all this grime and baked on food into a few drops of the oil in hot water, and it came out sparkling!! It%26#039;s great if you dilute it in a spray bottle to clean the countertops (remember..it%26#039;s antibacterial!!And antiseptic..) Pour some in a bucket of water to mop the floors too!!!





Tea tree oil will become you new best pal!!!





Cheers!





May this be just the beginning of your use of natural remedies!!





***DAMN THE THUMBS DOWN!!!!**
Reply:Tea tree oil has SOOOO many uses, just google it for more info.


Some uses:


Tea tree oil has been used as an antiseptic for burns, cuts and insect bites. It has also been used for acne, eczema and fungal infections of the skin (e.g., athlete%26#039;s foot).





Application:


The proper way to apply tea tree oil on your pimples is to wet with water on a hand wash cloth (not a towel.) and put about as much as your thumb on each pimple then fall asleep over night. Wake up rinse off your face with water that day putting nothing on it and when night comes do that again and it will make a whole difference!





The only side effects would be a skin reaction, like a rash or allergic reaction. Of course stop using it if this happens.
Reply:read the instructions on the bottle.
Reply:Tibby! laughing hard with ya mate!





that%26#039;ll teach you to be serious about a subject! haha!





but 10/10 for the quick wit and repartee!

BANTER!
Reply:Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic. It%26#039;s really good at releaving inflammation. You can add it to lotion/liquid soap/shampoo--shampoo if you have dandruff, lotion or soap if you have a mild skin condition. Personally, I%26#039;ve been experimenting with using tea tree oil for treatment of my acne (past month). I put a really thin layer of it (undiluted) on regions of my face where I tend to break out once a day. It doesn%26#039;t seem to get rid of the pimples that are there but lessens the inflammation so they aren%26#039;t as red and puffy. Also, picking is bad to do but I do it sometimes....after doing so I put some tea tree oil on the popped zit and it helps prevent infection. When I wake up the popped zit is flat but then I%26#039;m left with a pink skin discoloration. I have a lot of experience with dealing with acne (had it since 16 now I%26#039;m 28). I%26#039;ve tried natural products, diets, drug store products, dermatologists. What seems to keep my acne in check (less breakouts) is healthy eating (sugar aggravates inflammation), sleep, keep stuff off your face like hair or irritating makeup and releaving stress levels (like don%26#039;t interact with people who tend to stress you out). If you have any questions about any product (guarenteed I%26#039;ve probably tried it), feel free to drop me an email. Good luck and I feel for you. PS a real man will love you and find you attractive regardless if you have acne. i mention this because i%26#039;ve been self concious about my acne.
Reply:use it diluted at first with equal parts water, then increase the strength over the next few days to see how well your skin reacts (sometimes it can dry out skin too much)


use a cotton ball and just wipe if over spots


i%26#039;ve heard it%26#039;s also good for hair, but i%26#039;d probably just recommend getting a shampoo with it already in


use it every night before bed
Reply:you can use it as shampoo on plants or basketballs
Reply:its usually used to remove blemishes or red spots on your face. if you picked ur acne or soemthing then u can use it to renew ur skin and repair the damage.

Reply:Just dab it on. It feels nice and cool on the skin. Its good for you





Why the hell have I got a thumbs down for that!!??





Ok, so now I%26#039;ve got 3 thumbs down over a bottle of f*ckin tea tree oil!!





I%26#039;m not gonna tell you how to use in shampoo as I might get crucified by the people on here!!





4 thumbs down!! Just for expressing my feelings on tea tree oil!! I hate the stuff now!! You can all have one back from me!

Reply:It is a natural antiseptic so washing with it (5 or 6 drops in a basing of warm water) will help prevent infection from open sores caused by burst spots. Also when sprayed onto your hair it will also deter head lice from making their home on your head.
Reply:It%26#039;s a great acne treater a great shampoo and an awesome numb for pain
Reply:you have to mix it with an essential oil like olive oil and water..google it; it will tell you how to do it.
Reply:Put a few drops on a cotton ball and rub it all around your face. Since it is an oil, it shouldn%26#039;t dry out your skin much if at all. I don%26#039;t know if you%26#039;d want to use it on your nails, but I know that tea tree oil is used in a lot of shampoos.


I%26#039;ve never experienced any side effects, but I suggest trying it on a small spot first and making sure nothing bad happens.


I used it every night after my shower and my breakouts were virtually non-existent.
Reply:You should be able to dab it on problem areas as they appear. You will notice a cooling sensation but there aren%26#039;t really other side effects. Tea Tree is a great antiseptic for cuts and scrapes as well. You can also add a few drops to a bath or unscented lotion or shower gel if you notice a reaction to straight tea tree oil. If your skin isn%26#039;t sensitive though you should be good to go! =)

Any ideas on what tod with a huge maple tree with a half hollow trunk?

We have a huge maple tree in our front yard that has a trunk that is half hollow. We%26#039;ve just moved here and to tell the truth neither of us noticed the tree when looking at the house. We were more concerned with the house and the tree shows no signs of problems. It%26#039;s trunk is hollow on one s ide (looks like a problem years ago) and we are worried that it will fall over.


My fiance%26#039;s mother has an old cotton wood that had similar problem and she filled it with concrete. It%26#039;s been that way for years and no problems as of yet. Anyone ever heard of that? Is that a GOOD idea? It has worked for her, but I worry that when time comes to cut it down, it will hamper the process. I shutter to think about the sparks from the chainsaw !!!!!


Any ideas or answers as to what to do?


Thank you!

Any ideas on what tod with a huge maple tree with a half hollow trunk?
You can pursue the disclosure idea but I would leave the tree alone. The tree and the damage have survived many storms. Do not use concrete or any kind of sealer, it will antagonize the damage. Getting someone to look at it would be a good idea. They will probably recommend remedial pruning to stabilize the tree. RScott
Reply:call a tree specialist to look at it


then look at ur purchase agreement see if the prior owners disclosed it in the doc. if not u cn go after them 4 non-disclosure
Reply:just keep an eye on it! i would fill it with some dirt and plant some flowers in it!


if your really scared then cut it down or cut a slice in it as if you were to cut it down to counter the weight!


not sure how safe that is tho!


just an idea!





I wouldn%26#039;t put cement it it will kill the tree if it is root bound!


plus like what you said sparkle! and new chainsaw!
Reply:I%26#039;ve seen some really old trees with concrete helping to stabilize hollow trunks, I think if you remember the concrete is in there you won%26#039;t have a lot of trouble removing it once the tree dies. I don%26#039;t think stabilizing it will kill it, the ones I have seen have lived a long time. You could check with a nursery with a good reputation and see what they would suggest, I suppose anything that provides stability is a good idea like maybe a steel strut like those used for basement supports, digging a post hole inside the tree would work, but I think people use concrete cause its easiest and forms to the inside of the trunk. There are some sands that stiffen when dampened that are more porous and lighter weight. Maybe those would work well. And maybe tree preservationists have some tricks up their sleeves. Or cut it down and get some money from your sellers who may not have noticed the hollow in the tree themselves.
Reply:That tree potentially poses a risk. First off....don%26#039;t use concrete in the tree, if the tree is bad enough off than it%26#039;s safer to take it down. My recommendation is to find a certified arborist who knows how to perform risk assessments on trees.

Reply:you can add a couple of drops to your face wash or moisturiser and that should help
Reply:Dilute it with whatever facial wash you normally use. You might have been better off picking up an acne product that already contained tea tree oil. Put the oil you have a drop or two on whatever you wash your face with along with your usual cleanser and wash your face as you normally would.
Reply:What you can do it add a few drops to the water in the sink you use to wash your face. Swirl it around a bit and then wash as normal with your usual products.
Reply:Tea Tree oil alone will not help your acne.


First know the following about acne:


What causes acne?


In brief:


1. Hormones


2. P Acnes Bacteria


3. Excess Sebum (oil) production


4. Hyperkeratinization (build up of dead skin)





So you have to address those issues with your skin care.








1. Kill Bacteria


2. Control Oil production


3. Control Inflammation


4. Exfoliate dead skin cells





Tea tree does help with bacteria, but the molecule in over the counter tea tree oil is too large to help. It need to be in a formulation that will penetrate the skin. The last thing you want ot do is to put a carrier oil on your skin.

Reply:Not sure about tea tree oil; my friend however started taking Lipovox for her acne and has had great success, its about 38 bucks for 30 day supply on eBay. its worth a try for at least a month. Severe acne may need a dermatologist prescription and oils and supplements may not help
