Rudy was awol and I didn’t think to look at the curtains. He bent one of the metal rings that the hook goes through. It’s not tin. It’s magnetic. Some kinds of alloys are magnetic.

The following metals are ferromagnetic:
  • Iron
  • Cobalt
  • Nickel
  • Steel
  • Manganese
  • Gadolinium
  • Lodestone
I would guess it is made from an alloy of nickel or iron. I don't know how to determine what other metals might be present.

Did Rudy break off any pieces?

No but he wiped his beak on the rope perch for quite a while. Then he had dinner and is asleep now so I can’t observe him. Thanks for the prompt reply.

Do the curtains have a tag with the manufacturer's name and product number?
