Birds can be energetic chewers and climbers, so toy construction matters.
Check the size
A toy should be appropriate for the size and strength of the bird. Openings, loops and gaps should not create entrapment risks.
Inspect metal parts
Use bird-safe hardware and avoid unknown metals or coatings that may be unsuitable if chewed.
Watch for loose fibres
Frayed ropes and long loose threads can become hazardous. Replace damaged toys promptly.
Rotate rather than overcrowd
A smaller number of well-chosen toys can be rotated to keep the environment interesting.
If you are unsure whether a material is safe for your bird species, consult an avian veterinarian or experienced avian specialist.
