Good afternoon everyone

Here is a picture of a bird toy I Purchased at Petsmart. My cockatiel is tearing it up. I do not care if he tears it up because it’s a toy for him to play with but is it safe for him to tear up. Is it possible for him to consume any of this. It appears to be some type of wood or rope material that he is tearing up.

Thank you Roger

Those are known as wicker, willow, or ratan balls and are meant to be destroyed :) Most birds will not consume non food items on toys, but just watch to be sure. Depending on the size of the balls, just make sure they can't get their head inside any of the loops once it has been chewed more as that can be a strangulation risk.

My tiels like to play with wicker balls too! Most birds don’t eat their toys, but you can watch to make sure.
