This thread reminded me-
I have been wanting to make this post since a thread awhile back showing a bird that had chewed on a remote..or controller or something.While these pics and threads are cute~
Think of a Keyboard{we see lots of those getting chewed up!}remote, a controller, etc. If you have never seen inside any component such as this, let me tell you. There are wire leads, often hooked to a board, chip, whatever, and attached with solder, which is usually LEAD! These items have all manner of metal and other things that your bird should not be coming into contact with. I have a friend who used to raise beautiful babies{she no longer breeds} She sold the most gorgeous long tailed young B&G macaw to a girl. He died shortly after. My friend wanted to see that the bird had a necropsy as this baby came from her best pair who always had gorgeous healthy babies. The girl refused the necropsy idea. She just could not go through with doing it. She was very torn up over her loss. BUT, the bird destroyed a remote. And my friend's vet said that is most likely what did it. That pair never ever had sick babies.
Food for thought.Please be safe.
