Parakeets like to forage and they will peck on most anything. Take care, Andy

And you should be cautious because, historically, some foils were made using tin. Tin is toxic to birds. OP-- it's a cute video. Sorry lol! I hope we didn't scare you off! I am a retired chemist. My decision to use the foil as an enrichment toy was not made randomly. Andy

Re: Pretty playing with foil
I never got any emails showing someone responded to my posts?
How can I fix that? Thanks, Andy

Re: Pretty playing with foil
I never get emails either- there may be a way under notification settings, but I am not sure. I just usually log-in and check by either clicking on my profile and searching for posts by me, or just viewing most recently active threads.

Re: Pretty playing with foil
Some folks will seek medical advice from multiple doctors until they find one that agrees with their own personal opinion. Which one should be heeded I leave to you.
