A post for Isadora and her shenanigans

Paper rope is only good for the little birds or light chewers unless you want your toy parts on the floor lmao.
Burt loves to cut through it and so does Birdie so they get knots of it added to toys for material variety but I would not hang a toy with it lol.
Stick with SS wire or chain or if you are lucky you may even be ok with poly rope- Burt loves to destroy the poly rope but he does not always attack it straight away and Birdie is the same.

I honestly suggest you get rid of them pear clips and use the safer larger quick links, I am concerned whenever I see them given to larger birds- they are not safe as they can easily be bent but worse still they are small enough to easily pierce through your birds skin if a slip should occur while it is being destroyed- I have seen pics of them lodged through various places around the beak on a few birds.

This particular toy isn't in her cage - it's on the outside for when I'm with her in the bird room. The rest of the toys have the big quick links, this was just an extra one I had from a previous toy.

And blame @Mizzely for the paper rope she sent it to me lnfao. It works out though,I also got a skewer so these pieces can just go on that as she destroys it.

I was just blown watching her snip it though. Literally one quick clip with her beak and that was it. Just wild to see

I don't have anything super strong for rope as most of my customers don't need it it's an investment to get into chain and wire!

I read that as "chain and wine" at first and was like "i totally understand where you're coming from, I too need to invest in wine"

I just realized what a pear clip is I think this isn't a pear clip, it's a skinny quick link. A pear clip is what you'd see on something like a lanyard if I'm thinking of the right thing?

This is considered a pear shaped quick link

The other kind are oval shaped quick links.

The lanyard clips are called lanyard clips as far as I know

Everywhere I buy quicklinks here those are called pear clips or pear links- I do not think I have heard of them being called anything else. Sorry if I confused you lol- I know of the lanyard clips as being called a few different things and of course there is more than one sort of clip used on them, the names I know of them by is lanyard clips, snap clip or hooks and dog clips. There are many names used for the same types of hooks depending on the company selling them and the term most used by regular users of them clips.

The only clips I believe that are safe for parrots (especially the large parrots) are the quick links (not pear ones) or the EH hook and ball hangers.

Depending on the bird, the pear links are fine. I have been using them a decade without issues

 

[Shezbug]

After seeing pear clips pierced though many birds I personally would not use or recommend them for any birds that were not budgies or tiels. Each to ones own but there are definitely safer clips available- the pear links are too easy to open and too skinny to be safe for many birds.

My son found some gardening gloves. Did you know they're terrifying?

I didn't, until tonight it honestly took me a second to figure out what the problem was initially, because he was across the room - a good ten feet away!

Guess what I've been doing all morning

Of course gloves are terrifying, Inca knows that
