When we took Pablo to the vet for a checkup, we found that there were lots of fibers in his crop and stomach. They were from the Happy Hut we got him. This also irritated his throat and led to infection. So, if you already know about this, good, but if your bird has a happy hut, or similar fibrous toys/hidey-holes, be sure it's not affecting your bird in a negative way. These fibers get stuck in their stomach and ball up, creating a blockage.
On another note, they can make your bird very hormonal, because they claim it as their nest.

We currently have a dangerous toy sticky, and the Happy Hut warning is listed there. Some birds do poorly with them, whereas others like my GCC are lost without them. I tried to remove my Happy Hut from Avery's cage, and she cried for hours on end refusing to sleep until she had it back. But because of that, I watch it carefully and always remove loose threads. Washing it a lot also helps remove the fuzz and makes it easier to notice potential thread hazards.
