Kizzybird Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 I did a search on foam beads to no avail. Are they AG safe for chewing? thanks
judygram Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 In my opinion I would think they would not be safe, made of foam they would be able to tear them up quite easily and maybe consume some part of it, better to get them some wood or other hard material to chew on.
Talon Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Dont know myself, but I have bought the foam curlers in the dollar store and wrapped them in coffee filters and put in their toys boxes, they do chew them apart....
Augustus Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) I've found that both my cag and b&g prefer to chew on twigs/limbs from live trees. Dead limbs/twigs are chewed to bits in a matter of seconds, whereas live ones hold up for a bit longer. Limbs from hickory, oak and dogwood are the ones I use the most. My b&g likes to skin the bark off populars also. My birds hardly ever chew on toys anymore preffering to use them to scratch their backs and hang upside down from them. Pencil size for the cag and sharpie size for Nesta are what I offer to them free choice in a bowl. Best of all, the price is right and you know there is no preservatives or arsenic. Here's Echo doing what she does best. Edited May 25, 2013 by Augustus add photo
Talon Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Great idea, I live in the country and never think to venture out to get free toys.....
carolz7 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 I would not let them have foam i just dont feel like its safe especially if they should swallow some. i lost my little red flank lorikeet last year due to something similar to this. I had no idea he was eating the stuff i thought it was on the bottom of the cage.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I agree with carolz7.I don't know alot about toys to chew, but I'm pretty good with eliminating toys that I don't think are safe.About to buy new toys at end of June, July. Wingy has offered me some suggestions. Does anyone else have any ideas? Sunny loves anything with a mirror or bell. Kiki seeks destructions. Sophie LOVES to shred. Nancy
carolz7 Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Please do take a look at my website if you care to. You can pm me for more info etc. I make all my own toys and most of all safety is my number one concern. http://www.crazyforbirdtoys.com
