Most Everything here for your Bird Toy Making, is known to be safe with Safety In Mind.  There are many things that I see that are not what I would call Bird Safe Items and should not be sold as bird toy items. Also even the best looking bird toys that you think are safe are often not as safe as you would think. Monitoring bird toys is a must to obtain safety.

I see items being sold by others that are very dangerous that a bird can get caught or entangled in.  Many items can become a hazard.

Many plastic items that are not the right types of plastic for a bird to be chewing on.  There are many types of brittle plastics that should not be given to birds.

Many types of ropes and twines should not be given to birds.  Braided type ropes should not be given to birds at all.  Braided ropes can entangle the bird very easily, plus the fibers inside the braided rope is not that safe, most are real stringy and can get caught around the birds toes and can cause strangulation.

Here is the type of COTTON ROPE that we use and sell and is proven to be bird safe.

Just because you see a web site or bird toys sold in stores that sells a lot of different bird toys or parts doesn't mean its all safe items.  Some places state that all their items are bird safe, but sometimes they are not all safe.  I have walked into well known large pet stores that we are all familiar with among smaller stores and have seen toy items that I would not begin to consider as safe toys or safe toy parts and should have not been considered for  the bird toy market.

Look at this type ball that should NOT be used, its not meant for birds and should not really be used, they are for kids.

This I discovered these baby links not being so safe  for the birds after I was selling them on the site, so I immediately removed the item so they could not be purchased by my customers.

As I find proper items for bird toys or bird toy parts, it is added to the catalog.  I see too many toy part items that should not be considered for birds.

As far as zinc plated items go such as quick links, some people are not comfortable using them, our metal parts we sell are nickel plated or stainless steel on our Hardware page.  I have used zinc plated items and have not had any problems but you never know when there could be a problem, it is known that flakes or pieces have to be ingested to be harmful. These metal items should not be left in the bird's water and then drank as that could not be good, so should you find a metal piece like a quick link or something in your bird's water, then change the water and dry of the wet metal before using again.
