Bell toys?

[crazybirds]

I'm looking for some bird-safe bell toy brands on Amazon.
Any suggestions??

I bought this stainless steel bell from a vendor here. They are just warming up to it now. I haven’t caught them playing with it yet, but sometimes when I enter their room, I see it swinging furiously, lol!

I'm buying some bell toys specifically for Mouse, my tiel.
He tends to squawk and attack some of his toys as if it were "Invading his territory".
Is this common among cockatiels?

I'm afraid I don't have tiels, but I'm going to tag someone who may be able to help!

This is his favorite.

I personally have never had cockatiels that liked playing with bells but I guess yours should try it out.

Common for the parrots I've had

Just be careful with metals from Amazon - they need to be nickel plated or stainless steel, and I have had issues where they always include dangerous links.

on Amazon.

Be careful shopping on Amazon. Stick to brands you have heard of like PP or SBC. There are so many junk toys listed and who knows how safe those bells are.

I second (or third) SSBT for bells, My lovies really like the ones we got, fantastic quality. I have these bells;

I'm not sure if the metal is 100% safe now after reading @Mizzely 's post.

The link type is not safe I can't see that it specifies the metal type just glancing at it but if they aren't using the right link type, it makes me worried that they aren't using right metals, either.

I'm probably going to have to remove the bell then. Thanks for letting me know.

The bell, the wire running through the center of the toy and the hook are all metal suspect. Besides the concern of the metal, the clasp is very dangerous. A bird could easily get their beak caught in the clasp because it pushes in. May I recommend that you buy from the site vendors.

EDITED TO ADD: The site vendors sell safe toy making parts if you want to make your own too!
