Rope toys

[tieltalk]

Hi there, I was looking online for some toys to see if there are any good deals. I came across a rope climbing net and was wondering if it was safe for birds, specifically cockatiels. I have already bought it but if it is not safe I will not use it.

I'd rather see that made with sea grass netting instead of rope. Rope frays eventually and can be swallowed creating intestinal blockages. We have seen this hppen before. We have a rope ring, and I have to trim little snippets of string off it all the time.

Welcome to the forums, thanks for joining! Definitely keep an eye on frayed/chewed strands and remove as necessary.
