I found this article on zinc toxicity. What do you think. Has anyone tested the metal parts on their bird toys and found zinc even though it was a toy for birds.

:ohmy:

If the metal parts are shiny like chrome, they are safe. Though they may have iron or zinc inside.

 

If they are not basically "Chromed" or anodized and are magnetic, trash them. YOu should also check the wires that run down the center of some toys. The are raw metal and contain zinc/galvanization.

Sorry, I couldn't find where I posted it, so I posted it again. Thanks for your "two responses". Liked your article. Is there someway to quickly check on responses to my posts? I'm not sure how to add tags.
