Happy huts

SimplyBirdLover · Dec 26, 2017

I was at the pet store the other day and saw this little fleece teepee sortie thing. I bought I just because I figured that if I find out that it’s not safe then I can return it. It’s fleece all over and I bought it for my cockatiels. It isn’t a happy hut at all. It reminds me of the little teepees that they make for dogs to sleep in.
Anyways, I was wandering if it is safe? I have heard that fleece doesn’t fray so I’m assuming that it is but at the same time I would rather be safe than sorry.

Return it - they are death traps for parrots, who chew everything. Seriously we have had several members here whose birds died of ingesting fibers from those. Get your bird a nice natural wood perch or a interesting wood toy with the $$.

Thank you so much for checking prior to installing. If it is a Happy Hut or similar, the risk of swallowing and grave injury or worse is high.

Check out this thread, what you describe is likely reviewed in the second post: http://www.parrotforums.com/parrot-toys/38678-list-hazardous-toys-here-please.html

Many toy features are deadly. Leaded paint and/or heavy-metal (lead, cadmium, etc) construction, pinch points, sharp objects, etc are too common.

Yep, those things are terrible! Happy huts? More like sad huts when they kill or injure your baby...

Do pet stores put injured birds down?
