Hi, all! I would like to make a foraging mat for my 'keets. It would involve taking a small tray and a grass mat and sticking them together. I would then place some seed and treats in between the grass pieces for them to pick out. I got this idea when I noticed Skittles was pecking at little things in between our carpet. My question is: I was planning on sticking the grass mat to a tray to make the base more sturdy. I was thinking I could attach the mat to the tray by putting a bit of hot glue down and sticking the mat on. But, of course, I was worried about whether or not this would be safe. I know the fumes are not good for them, so I would apply the hot glue to the tray and mat in a different room, and then maybe give it 24 hours before I give it to the birds. The dried hot glue, would, of course, be hidden under the mat so the birds would most likely not be able to chew on it. So, if I did all this, would it be safe? If not, are there any other easier and safe ways to do this?
