Zoom Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 We don't have White Pages anymore, but we still get the Yellow Pages every January. Is it okay for Simon to have them as a toy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Very safe---not toxic but many people may be upset that your bird now has their personal number stored in his brain --for future use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblivion Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Like just about everything else regarding birds, it seems not everyone agrees. I've seen some people say the soy inks are OK, some say the pages/inks are OK, but the glossy covers are bad. Some have concerns about the glue in the binding. One of the "safer" ideas I've heard to address those issues is to remove the covers, and hang the book through the ceiling bars - so they're primarily chewing/shredding the pages, avoiding the spine. I'm sure other opinions will be along shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) The paper and ink of a regular phone book is fine. The ones to watch out for are the ultra glossy covers that feel almost like a from film picture. The trick to tell is by using a regular marker, not a permanent marker, on the cover. If the marker ink doesn't soak in after 5 minutes or so and wipes right off tear off the cover. Edited April 22, 2012 by Wingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama CJ Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Funny story....We let our parrots tear up phone books. Millie had shredded one on a rug in the spring and I had taken it outside and shook it off. Later in the fall a bird nest had fallen out of a pine tree and it had been made with the shreds of that phone book. I had a hard time not calling some of the people to tell them I had found their names and numbers after they had fallen out of our pine tree!
