mjames74 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 This was this morn after her misting. For the smokers out there, this has gotta be the cheapest foot toy around. I just empty all the loose tobacco out of it and blow it out and give it to her to shred. She loves them. Gets a little carried away with them sometimes though. Sometimes she lays on her back on top of the cage and holds it with both feet and smacks herself in the face with em'. Funny as hell when she does.

mjames74 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Oh and I made a YouTube channel and plan on uploading any vids I make of her. Quality will be crap cause it's just the vid recorder of a digital camera. http://www.youtube.com/user/mjames8374 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Not the best choice of a box for Echo to tear up:S but that is one way to dispose of it, I am not a smoker so I would have no boxes like that but that is a good picture of him, maybe he is trying to send you a message, you can read it on the side of the box:whistle: in any case, thanks for sharing it with us.

mjames74 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 well we don't smoke around the birds. and she'snot eating it, just likes to tear them up same with any foraging box. she usually only spends about 2-3 min on it, just enough to pull out the inside paper then she's done with all of it. about the same time she spent on the foraging boxes so figured this was cheaper.

Eckobird Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 What a pretty girl Echo is! I loved the videos, she has so much personality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherStrella Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 She really is pretty and that box is the perfect size for a foot toy. I don't want to piss on your parade...really I don't. Cigarettes have so many chemicals and it seems like they would seep right through to the box. I know you said she doesn't eat it but it still touches her mouth. There I said it. I know it's none of my business what you do with your bird so I'm done on that subject. She's gorgeous...my little one smacks herself too. It's funny cuz she gets mad when she does it... as if it's the foot toy's fault. lol.. Have a happy day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titch Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Top bird!.. such fun to listen to. Do your cigs have the foil lining? I suppose if that's been removed then it'll be a fairly safe box... or you could quit smoking, eat ice lollies when you crave a ciggy lol. and give her the sticks.. Looking forward to the next vid.

mjames74 Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah I take the inside paper out. So it's pretty much just cardboard. And like I said we don't smoke around them. But I think birds are more durable that people tend to belive. Once of my relatives has a scarlet macaw that chews cigarette butts. Doesn't eat them just chews them up and makes a mess with them. They've had the bird since I was a few yrs old. The bird is like 33 now. I tried telling em it's bad for it, but kinda goes in one ear and out the other. But I think he's hooked on the niccotine in them from absorbing through the tounge probably. So in short I don't think the boxes are bad. I could be doing a lot worse.
