Some of you may not know we have a sub forum for dangerous toys. Its a good idea for us to review it every once in a while. Better yet, add any safety issue you have noticed in the items in and on your birds cage or around the house.
There are three main problems that can make toys dangerous:
- Toxicity (poisoning from chemicals or heavy metals in toys)
- Entanglement / Strangulation (getting body parts stuck in toys, or threads wrapped around the neck)
- Ingestion (parts can be chewed off toys and swallowed)
