  • Many bird and parrot owners are unaware of the risks associated with items like acidic wood, cotton and metal toxicity that are used to make bird/parrot toys and play areas/perches. My husband and I felt we were limited when it came to the available options so we made our own perches and play areas! This has allowed flexibility for us to make things that fit the spaces of our home and our Birds have been happier for it!

    I know this is old but the solution is contact paper! Linoleum will keep moisture under is as well

      I just watch and learn, and get a laugh like you do. Definitely no credit to be given to me at all, I have nothing to do with BFF, apart from enjoying it.

    I can’t understand how your suns don’t mess with your glasses. I can’t wear my glasses or any jewelry around mine.

    • @bestflockingfriends
      @bestflockingfriends  2 роки тому +1

      They will pick at my jewelry so I can’t wear any, but I’ve been consistent not letting them touch my glasses. They ruined a pair I had with rhinestones down the side and that was the end of that 🤣

    Manzanita wood is usually what is found in the pet stores.

    Why does cookie wave her head like that as if she is calling someone over? My 8 year old macaw does the same thing and I don’t know why, but my other macaw doesn’t do it

    Hi, i live in australia and the bird i have is native here. I use a native tree that is in the wild where it lives, is that okay to use?

    • @bestflockingfriends
      @bestflockingfriends  2 роки тому +1

      I would check locally with your wildlife center, if you can’t find it on a safe list! That’s so cool what kind of bird?

      This sounds great in theory but birds chew on these surfaces and walk on it and chemicals like that can be toxic!

    A simple Google search of woods that are not safe You are literally using two of them lol
