Are these pet toys bird safe?

[Featheredsamurai]

I'm always looking out for stuff I can use for parrot foraging or enrichment, but when it comes to other pet toys I always hesitate.

What do you think of these things?

Chinese fir

This looks like a Awesome foraging toy, the big one looks a little risky for unsupervised play but the little one's look great.

Douglass fir platform

more Chinese fir

The dogs toys seem pretty cool, my main concern is if the rubber that many are made of is ok for birds.

This is a dog toy, called a "twist in treat"

Someone did use this for a blue and gold, but just because one person used it doesn't really mean it's safe

Triad dog toy

Ashley, I don't know about the Chinese fir, even when I did some digging. I have THESE links, but it's inconclusive.
Safe and Dangerous Woods
Wood / Trees / Bushes Considered Safe for Birds
Non-toxic for birds list and a list of things that are toxic for birds.

As for the rubber toys, I think they would be safe. My big macs both LOVE kong toys, particularly THIS one:

Thanks Wendy!

It's unfortunate about the wood not being known, but I'm glad I can try the rubber dog toy. The Twist in treat looks so cool

That purple dog toy looks like a load of fun for your birdie babies! I think the Kong is a great idea, too. I've never heard of Chinese fir. I guess, when in doubt, don't use it.

I just ordered that toy from Parrotdise Perch. What do you stuff in there for your lovies? I have been trying to teach Basil to be a better forager by wrapping millet balls in newspaper pieces. So far he is not very good at it.

i put paper candy sticks in it, palm leaf shredders, cut up drinking straws, shredded paper, millet, nutriberries, almonds, anything i can wedge in it really. granted, only our male gets the shreddables lol

@cdnbirdlover

Right now I put Lafeaber cakes in Kenji's, and veggies.

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing everyone!

I know people use dog toys and baby toys for birds. That purple dog toy does look like it would be fun. Right know I am trying to get Clover to forage. I currently am planning a project of making a bird toy with chinese finger traps.

Not to discourage you, but please do your research. This may help Baby Toys For Birds : Birdy Toy Box, Fill your birdy toy box with bird safe toys I would be very careful also, of anything made in China. The standards are not the same as ours.
