Bird Kabob

[Mantis64]

What is this and is it good for Indian ringnecks to play with.

 

[fashionfobie]

It can work. I use stainless steel ones for Pi. They are washed through the dishwasher after every use.

It is important to get one that is for parrots and fully stainless steel.

Some of the small animal ones are not parrot safe. Galvanic corrosion can occur and is dangerous for birds.

Pi has these :

Stainless Steel Fruit Stick

Encourage your bird to work for their food by hanging fresh vegies and fruit on this easy to clean kabob with a metal ring on the end to stop things sliding off. It is sure to entertain the most finicky of feathered creatures. Hanging length 20cm.

Isn't this a skewer?

@Mantis64 which one did you have in mind?

 

[Shezbug]

Can you post a pic because some places sell the skewers like fashionfobie posted and call them kabobs and other places sell toys like Buy Bird Kabob Original | Free Delivery* | The Vet Shed and call them kabobs.

Either one will be fine for your bird but they are obviously two different things.

Oh good point! That is what I think of when I hear Kabob. Good to know that there is a brand toy by that name.

A lot of birds love yucca!

For anyone with dogs, remember to use caution with yucca in areas the dogs can reach.

I didn't know that! I'll have to be very careful with bird Kabobs if I every get them then. (the dogs like to eat bird food droped on the floor, and knowing them, they would probably eat yucca too)

Dogs are just hoovers that are more expensive and furry (so basically cause just as much mess as they tidy)

I have always wanted a cat but got a parrot cause of a disease in cats and dogs mouth that has caused people to amputated thier arms and legs. Even though there has only been 2 cases from cats worldwide.

Most healthy people commonly get infected but thier immune systems can fight it with no symptoms. It's with people who have a weakened immune system or no spleen. However nearly all of the documented cases have been healthy people and mainly through dogs. I'm not to sure but cats dont lick thier owners do they.
