Coloured Paper Shred

[TWR]

My local supermarket has some coloured crinkly shredded paper that would be great to add to foraging toys. It's in with the Easter egg decorating craft kits - so it's intended for children.

My concern is that there is no comment whatsoever about the colouring used - whether it's food safe or not. It's made in China. Likewise, there's no health warning either.

What do you guys think?

Though things from China can be dubious, I doubt that a parrot would ingest enough of it to cause problems.

if you lived in the USA, I would try Dollar Tree stores. their crinkle paper is made in the USA.

I'm interested in this answer too. I've wondered what was safe to buy and what our toy makers use in their stuff.

I have used the colored shredded crinkly paper that you can buy in packages at Easter for my birds. Since it's made for kids, I think it's fine. Just make sure it's regular paper and isn't shiny or sparkly. I also feel better if it's sold in a package rather than loose.

Thanks all. Think I'll buy some of then.
