Recently I figured out how to do paper mache, technically it's just paper soaked in flour and water. Would it be safe to use it for bird toys? I'm afraid they might think it's delicious and try to eat it since it has flour

I would look for an alternative "glue" because raw flour can carry bacteria like e coli.

Edited to add, I was going to suggest corn starch, but it looks like it carries similar risks for food borne diseases.

It might be possible though to make paper mache with just paper pulp like they use for paper making.
