Nana's now a responsible homeowner

She pays her rent in kisses and bites.

She's going to lay eggs in that cozy nest!

That is very very cute but in addition to possibly laying eggs, as @saroj12 said, I would also be worried that the house might be dangerous like those cozy huts that have killed numerous birds. I'm not sure cause I've never seen one of those houses but I'd be really careful that it's not getting chewed on or frayed.

Eta* I meant happy hut not cozy hut.

You are right, but as long as the hut is checked frequently and any stray threads cut or bedding pulled, the huts last for awhile

You think so? I don't have plans of putting it in her cage and only plan to let her play in it during the day, but if it's a problem, I'll just throw the toy at my dogs. It's really no biggie to me, tbh. I just thought it wouldn't be a problem if she has limited access.

It's actually not a bird hut, so that's probably why you haven't seen it. It's a Zippy Paws. It came with squeaky gingerbread men plushies that your dogs are supposed to forage out of it, but my dogs were afraid of the house and didn't want to touch them. They're not made out of the same material on the inside that some squeaky dog stuffies are made out of to make them more durable. I'm not sure what it's called, but it's got a smoother texture. I've had them before, and they're pretty hard for my dogs to chew through.

Don't know why the seasonal one scared them so much, considering it's not that different from the one filled with little animals, but dogs are weird.

That's a cute dog toy. I think it would be easy for her to pull on the threads and you would really need to be careful with that. Agree with the other posts that it is possible that the dark, cozy Zippy Paws could stimulate egg laying and you don't want that. Probably better to give it to your dogs. JMHO

 

[DQTimnehs]

Cute! But yes, good chance it will induce egg laying and watch that she’s not chewing it.

That doesn't help with crop impaction from ingesting fibres, unfortunately. And even the most diligent person sometimes isn't enough. Lovebirds love to chew.

I really would recommend getting rid of it. In addition to encouraging nesting, there is serious concerns of getting tangled in threads or impaction. It isn't worth the risk, imo.

Yes, please do not let your birds use anything or play with anything that has fibrous materials.

Such an adorable photo op! I agree not to put it in her cage and to watch her very closely during use.

I guess the home owner's life wasn't for her, then. Sorry, Nana, you were always meant to be a free spirit. |D

It's a super cute photo though! Christmas card worthy

I think you mean free loader

Hey, she's my official paper shredder, water tester, and pocket inspector. I wouldn't exactly call her a 'free loader'. Where else am I supposed to find someone who'll make sure my water tastes good, make sure my pockets are still there, AND shred all the papers I don't need anymore in exchange for spinach and kisses?
