I personally would never have one of those huts even though birds look really cute in them mini tents.
They’re the main cause of crop impactions and deaths in pet birds as far as I’m aware, they’re also a huge trigger for hormones and territorial behaviours. They’re not needed and serve no positive purpose for our companion birds.

Not safe! Too many sad stories of bird’s getting toes and legs caught, or passing from blockages.

If your bird favors those kind of toys there’s safer alternatives in seagrass tents or a PVC tube but like said above, they usually encourage hormonal behavior.
