Hi! It's been a long time since I've posted on here, I've been raising my GCC berry! Still learning about what it's about to have a pet parrot!

Berry has a lot of toys, I make sure to keep his cage colourful and fun! But I want some toys he can play with outside his cage, something affordable (not that I can't afford having the bird, it's just preferred). I was watching Marlene Mc'cohen and in one of her old videos she was giving her birds plastic fruit to play with, and I thought it was a cute fun idea so I found this salad kid on amazon but I'm super careful with what I give my bird and I wouldn't want him to get poisoned from it or anything so I thought I would come here and ask for your guys opinions, thank you!

Baby toys should be fine. I get them for my birds. The baby section at Walmart has balls, rattles & different shaped toys you can give your bird. The kit you posted look fine.

They should be fine. Just watch out for some of them. For some stupid reason they have itty bitty screws on them.

How about like a more rubbery type of baby toy? I have one my birds like, but I want to put it in their cage. I haven't done it yet because I don't know if it's safe

It was an Elmo Baby Keys Set. It was about 2 years ago that I saw it. Not sure if it still like this. Or if there are any other toys that are like it. Just keep an eye on it. I also know that some of the electric baby toys also have had screws.
