safe

I'm starting a new diet soon for my two conures. The recipe calls for bean mix ("made from 16 beans soup mix ") but all I could find was a 5 bean mix. I figured this was fine and was going to start soaking them so I could cook them tomorrow but thought I would double check if all of them are...

Hello- We just had a poplar tree fall on our land and I was planning on using it for a play stand. My neighbor had an old maple stump that he helped me drill a hole in to make a base. I saw online that poplar was safe but saw that you would have to remove the bark for maple (it seemed red maples...

Hello! For my birds hut, I get the one from MySafeBirdStore which has no stitching on it. It has a seagrass mat as the bottom part. My birdy likes to chew these up. I've ordered replacements already which they smell, mostly natural but just want to be sure they are safe as they are fumigated...

Just want to make sure these are all safe before putting the ladder in the cage, thanks!

Hello Everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has or used this water bottle (Lixit Quick Fill Medium Bird Bottle, 20-Ounce: Amazon.ca: Pet Supplies) and what their thoughts are on it. I'm looking into getting a water bottle to train and use from some new carries I am getting for my birds. The one that...

When I was in the UK recently, I picked up this toy. It was in the rodents section in a shop called the range. I think it seems safe, but I'd love to hear some more opinions. Shopping in the rodent section isn't new to me, bird toys are few and far between over here so I do pick up bridges...

I've been wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase a safe, and afordable boing for my budgie Kiwi. I looked on amazon but honestly there are too many reviews about boings smelling toxic when they arrive, so I wanted to ask you all for help finding a safe boing.

Hey every birdie! It's been a looooong time since I've been on and posted, but I need a hand to figure something out. I recently got a tattoo, and now that it's healing, it's super itchy. I contacted the artist to see what to use, and he recommended a product called hustle butter. It's all...

I've been using Levoit humidifiers. I had bought two at almost $90 each. They had an auto turn off when empty, hot or cold mist, desired humidity shut off, held 6 liters each, etc. When they worked, they worked amazing. Then they both died 3 months in so I'm done with them. I'm looking now for...

My landlord had a new (central air) gas furnace (Arcoaire brand) installed after the last one failed. It began running 10/12. My birds have been kept at my parents since then (10 days today). The horrible chemical smell seems gone. The vent air smells 'hot' if that makes sense. The house smells...

Hello everyone, I've been looking into all sorts of aviaries recently, from ones made specifically for parrots to DIY ones to greenhouses with screen. I was thinking about mostly frames because stainless steel wiring with good spacing isn't crazy hard to find but frames seem difficult to work...

You know those meshy, plastic bags that oranges are sold in - would they be a safe toy for a cockatiel? I was planning to tie string to one so it hangs from the top of the cage but droops down so she has to stretch to reach any goodies inside. Is this a good idea? (Is this plastic...

I live in the north east US and as winter is approaching I'm thinking of ways I can keep my birds comfortable. I live in an old apartment and it's difficult to keep the temperature stable (it never gets really cold but I have a hard time finding the right heat setting). I bought one of those...

I'm looking for some safe ways to color wood. My new favorite thing is to buy tiny GCC sized things for my conure, Ben. I got him some little wood furniture from the craft store and would like to color it. These items are mainly for taking photos. He won't have unsupervised access to it and...
