Per a suggestion made by one of our members (Wrench13), and the swell of interest generated in its wake, Parrot Forums has opened up the Member Toy Exchange sub-forum. The point of this sub-forum is to provide a venue within which our members can swap bird toys that have been rejected by their own fids. (We've all been there, right? Spending money on a toy that we were so sure would provide them tons of entertainment, only to watch it go tragically untouched and eventually find its way into storage... or the garbage.)
Now members will have a less wasteful option, trading with others who have been through the same cycle. One bird's junk may be another bird's treasure, after all.
All one will need to do is come to this sub-forum and start a new thread with the toy to be swapped/offered. Members can indicate interest on the thread, with further discussion or communication details handled via pm.
A few things to keep in mind.
Parrot Forums is only serving as the venue for these discussions and negotiations. Any deals or agreements made here are solely between the two members involved. As such, Parrot Forums accepts no responsibility for any breaches of contract, whether real or imagined, between the two parties. And any member who chooses to participate does so with full knowledge that the exchange is commencing at their own risk.
Parrot Forums also has no responsibility for any shipping charges incurred. Again, all details of shipping and handling, and any other aspects of the toy swap taking place post-agreement, are the sole responsibility of the participating members.
Also, we urge all of our members to keep in mind the importance of basic sanitary practices both for the health of our birds and as common courtesy. So please clean any and all toys before shipping them to your fellow members. Opening a box and finding a toy crusted over with bird droppings would likely fall far short of pleasant, as well as increasing the possibility of disease transmission.
And as per the rules in every other one of our sub-forums, please do not post your private contact information on the thread. This rule is for your protection, as not everyone who reads a thread will necessarily be a well-meaning member. PM's will suffice for the exchange of other means of contact, such as phone numbers or email addresses.
All that said, thank you for reading and enjoy the toy exchange!
