I've been using this foraging straw cone thing that hangs from the top of my duskys' cages for their millet sprays and Nutriberries. Today Niko reached into the top of it to pull out the millet when his head got stuck inside it. He was flapping frantically and turning every which way to try to free himself from it. Even I had difficulty pulling him out, as the darn thing had tiny wire fasteners looping around the straw pieces which were acting like barb wiring. Thank God I was home when it happened.
If anyone has purchased this item (I got theirs at Walmart), please get rid of it immediately! Your birds' lives depend on it.
This incident has opened my eyes about birdie toy safety.
