Introduction
Birds explore the world with their beaks—and not all toys are created equal. Choosing toys made from safe, durable materials is essential for health and long-lasting fun.
What to Avoid
-
Toxic metals (zinc, lead)
-
Painted/coated materials with unknown chemicals
-
Fragile plastics that can break into sharp pieces
Best Materials for Bird Toys
-
Natural wood (untreated)
-
Leather, vines, sola wood
-
Stainless steel hardware
-
Non-toxic dyes & shreddable paper
Durability Factors
-
Size appropriate (large birds need sturdier parts)
-
Construction (how pieces are joined)
-
Wear and replacement
