Bird Toy Safety – tips, tricks and things to avoid | BirdNerdSophie
When choosing toys for our parrots, we need to make sure that we are picking things that are species appropriate. No toy is 100% safe, but there are definitely some things out there that are 100% dangerous. If you have any other toy safety tips, I’d like to hear from you in the comments!

My cockatiels opened the carabiner and it went threw his lower jaw and out the side of his beak. I had to take him in to emergency and do ten days of antibiotics and pain medication. It cost me close to $1000. With the the little charges and for emergency care.
Is ok if the toy is made from paper?

My birds have never played with toys I’ve put inside the cage… Same toy outside the cage does get attention… Any idea why?
My birds love bells. They donāt trigger hormones or aggression in my birds, they just love to ring them and tap them. They like that it makes a sound. And we get stainless steel bells for them, so we know itās safe. Our budgies are not strong enough to bite through and break the stainless steel bells and clappers, so thereās really no danger there.
Thank you for all the info, I think knowing your own birds individual habits and interests are so important. I have been wondering if you have any advice on how to get your birds more used to new toys? My budgies can sometimes take months to even approach new toys. Itās very difficult to rotate toys with them since it takes insanely long for them to get comfortable with them, I try to do it monthly at least but they refuse to use them most of the timeā¦Side note your Jurassic park shirt is really cool! Here in Sweden where I live I only know of 2 bird stores, I recommend Zooingvar if any swedes come across this comment š
This information is super important! Thank you.
can you remove bells from toys?
I live in Australia and we unfortunately don’t have many options for where to buy bird toys for an affordable price or shipping so i like to shop from chipper parrots (im pretty sure they are a charity that supports a bird rescue) and Queenslander aviaries. Not everything they sell is bird safe but majority of it is and chipper parrots actually sell planet pleasures toys!!! Plus chipper parrots sell cheap toy parts like 72 finger traps for $20AUD, 50 natural corks for $22AUD, 20 mahogany pods for around $20AUD. If you live in Australia and are struggling to find a place to buy bird toys i highly suggest you check them out!
hey, i got a cockatiel 2 days ago and he really misses his cage mates that were with him in the pet store. We cant get another cockatiel, what should i do? I dont really wanna put a mirror in his cage either
Thank u so much for doing these videos u helped me so much š love ur channel
Is it safe for diy paper toys to be in their cages? Can they swallow it?
Tinybird has the stainless steel bells that are elongated.
your vids are awesome ty
A person can get wooden hangers and kraft paper rope to hang toys. Tinybird prefers balsa wood and sola strung on kraft paper rope. All natural without dyes.
The quick links can be tightened with pliers and most small/medium birds will not be able to open them. I find it hard to tighten the pear links for some reason though. I have a GCC that will open them all up no matter how tight I have done them. But she cannot open the quick links tightened with pliers.
I own a 10 year old Quaker. Iāve had her her entire life, but only started making improvements to her care the last few years. Sheās always been territorial and whenever someone made her aggressive by being near her cage, she would grab a bell and start flinging it around and screaming. I recently removed all bells and got all natural toys. I noticed improvements to her temperament and sheās become more interested in chewing new toys too!
