How safe IS cardboard to chew


LNCAG

Recommended Posts

My grey adores tearing up paper towel tubes and corrugated cardboard.  I also offer toilet paper tubes but I let those 'sit' a while (3 or 4 months) before offering them to him.

My main concern is cardboard.  For interior cardboard (product comes in brown cardboard but is shipped inside a larger (Amazon usually) box.  I figure that inner product box wasn't handled much -- but the outside packaging may have been exposed to a LOT of stuff.

What do YOU do?

I honestly cannot keep up with my parrot's demand for cardboard.  He will chew wood sometimes, but he's a cardboard fanatic!!!

Had to make several purchases (new sink faucet, cacti pots, portable dvd player and some tools, etc. for bathroom repairs) which all had the neatest cut-out cardboard inside. Cardboard with huge cut-outs, lots of curves and bends ... all looked like clean plain brown cardboard, and my grey is in cardboard heaven!  It might be enough to last a couple days!  :)  Or not.  Yannoe how greys are.  

I usually end up with the inside packaging consisting of the dreaded no-no-no styrofoam cut-outs inside product boxes (or, if I'm lucky -- there's paper pulp inside packaging, which I admit, I use for my red runner colony; so Snickers doesn't get to chew that).  Snickers is so deprived of paper pulp!  lol  Paper pulp forms are so hard to find, an buying eggs alone doesn't provide enough for my B lat (red runner) colony -- and buying new unused egg flats gets expensive FAST!   

Win win on inside box packaging this week of consumer spending.  🥯
