My IRN seems to love them, I have dozens laying around and I'm not sure if they are safe for birds. Can I give a microfiber cloth to my IRN so he can play with it/tear it apart and stuff?

BTW microfiber cloths are those that people normally use to clean their glasses, camera lenses etc.

I would say no just because he can easily get ingesting the fibers which is fatal for birds, though others here may have more info to chime in with

As a self-acknowledged Queen of Paranoia, I would say no to microfibers, epecially if the bird is chewing! I have some microfibers that the Rb lands on sometimes, but doesn't do much more. Good for you for being cautious!
