hiya! so recently i read up on zinc toxicity in birds and read about how to test for zinc using magnets. I tested all of my birds toys and all the metal parts on them are magnetic! so that means it can't be stainless steel or aluminium which are bird safe as far as i know and according to the test, must contain some sort of zinc or galvanised steel. so now i'm left with the dilemma of what to do, does mean i need to throw out/ replace all their toys. I'm looking online to replace the quick links with stainless steel however does anyone know anywhere that i can be 100% sure that they are stainless steel and just any advice is appreciated. thank you!
