Doug Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 While browsing Tractor Supply for toy ideas, I saw cow ears, cow hooves, and pig ears. Are these suitable for parrots? (Like rawhide, I would get the ones without coloring/flavoring.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Well, I didn't get a response, but logic indicates that if rawhide is okay, the ears would be okay. I bought one ear and cut it up into smaller sections, drilled a hole in each section and included them in various toys. (You can see a couple of pieces in this picture...) The cow ear is a lighter material than rawhide - almost foam-like. Easier to shred... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amali Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Doug, I have heard of cases of Salmonella being found on pigs ears, but I'm not sure on the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have a couple of animal ears for my parrots. My Louie is a chewer so he usually is the one to throw them off of the top of the cages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
