by GreenWing » Sat Oct 06, 2012 2:35 pm
Tiki is cRAYze about Q-Tips. I mean, two Q-Tips provides HOURS of fun. I googled the safety of parrots and Q-Tips and from what I can tell it's safe... does anyone else use Q-Tips as a parrot toy?

This is a good idea. My white eared conure likes flying onto the cabinet top, grabbing my empty contacts case, enthusiastically banging it around for a while, and then flinging it for distance. It's so funny I normally let him do it once before taking the case away.
