Recently while visiting a bird loving friend, I noticed she had gotten several of those colorfu wooden hanging toys for birds.
Some were simple squares, but others were mixtures of wooden balls and rope and bells and knots and a twisted paper pinata.
I wondered about the safety factors of having knoted ropes and these colorful blocks of painted or dyed wood. Are these non-toxic if a bird chews on the wood and eats some of it?
Can the birds get their feet caught in the rope knots?
Do you think these toys are completely safe or do we worry about an accident waiting to happen?
Please share your opinions here.
