Thanks to goldenmean. I may just package them and take to the next bird fair.

Hahahaha!! Beautiful bird!

Great Pic
He seems to like it as much as my cats

I would be careful the bird doesn't break off the nibs and get one stuck in his system. Plastic doesn't digest so well.

I too would be afraid of my bird swallowing a piece of plastic unless supervised while playing with them. Now the cat toy idea sounds great.

Birds are pretty good about not swallowing non-food items. Just about all bird toys are plastic in some way or other and have been given to tropicals from the dawn of time, well, maybe not that long, and rarely any problems. I said rarely just incase there has been an instance where a pet tropical has swallowed some, but I personally don't know any cases and I have had many different kinds of birds over the last 10 years and right now have a Pink moluccan, Umbrella too, Amazon, Gray and the angel in the pic. I have had many toos and quakers, cocketiels, lovebirds in the past and never had a problem. Birds are really quite intellegent. I would be more worried about a dog or cat swallowing than a bird and I think most bird owners would agree.

Cool. Just wanted to say a word of caution for your wonderful pet. It looks as if you know what your doing.

Cassette87 · 05-14-2007, 12:15 AM

That's so cute... i ought to see if my gray likes them too

Pretty bird.

My daughter's amazon would probably tear them up in no time. Not a bad idea though.

I love that!!! I have to see if my grey and senegal might like those.
Try putting some peanut butter in the grooves!!
