PARROTS

 

Tips for a safer environment for your parrot:

Many of us buy toys to amuse our pets, but are they safe; toys safe for babies are not always safe for our pets, especially parrots.

Please be aware of:

· Large parrots can break plastic and metal parts, causing choking and death

· Plastic baby rattles can be opened and beaks and tongues can become caught

· Rope toys are dangerous if chewed and string may cause tangling and loss of circulation in toes and legs, even strangulation.

· Wooden toys that are treated are lethal to parrots and can cause immediate death.

Ensure you buy toys from a reputable pet supplier and if you are concerned about your parrot, speak to one of our staff.
