Being Ignored By My bird !!!!!!!!

[antoinette]

Yesterday and today, I added more rings and chains in Mishka's cage
THEN ...... she had the cheek to ignore me the whole of today
BUT WHAT DID I GET IN RETURN

Going through now

Wow 3 rings and a bell


This is so cool

Sure there's something inside here

I think she is thanking me in the last picture

MISHKA HAVING SUCH FUN........... I WAS WELL REWARDED

She seems very interested in her new toys but you might want to make sure that the links on the smaller chains holding the toys in her cage are big enough for her claws not to get stuck - they look a bit small to me but it could be the way they look in the picture.

I hardly use chains any more, I am always afraid somebody is going to get a claw caught in a link, pull hard and get hurt when I am not around. I also don't use anything made of plastic or which could be unraveled into threads. Plastic is often cured with a zinc compound and, if ingested, can cause heavy metal poisoning (same as rubber) and, once, a little budgie got caught in a twine somebody had unraveled from a toy hanging from the ceiling so I have eliminated those too. I've become quite paranoid about safety and have found that commercial parrots toys are hardly ever really safe.

Was waiting for someone to comment on the links "high five" to you

That was the first thing we checked. We actually did a "dummy run" for a month, when I first put them in. Made sure her claws were safe. You are quite correct, those rings actually look much smaller in the picture.
None of the toys in her cage are made of plastic, except for the red funnel, on top of her cage. Mishka can't grip it with her beak, she just flips it over and over, until she flips it over the sides.
Every evening after Mishka goes to sleep, I check her entire cage, to make sure everything is parrots safe, that nothing is "broken or chipped" badly enough to harm her.
I spend lots of time, watching and observing her, making sure her cage is
absolutely safe.
Thanks so much for the input, appreciate it, hoping others take note
