Frayed rope reminder

[Deanna]

I will be replacing Cecil's rope perch today as it has become too frayed to safely trim/repair ... and since it was fresh on my mind, I thought to post a reminder to use parronts to keep an eye on our fiddies' rope/string toys/perches.

We nearly lost Sailor (our passed Parrotlet) to striangulation on a frayed string. Dan was in the right place at the right time and we got him cut out before he was able to hang himself.

also trim the inside of happy huts

We had to remove all rope perches toys etc cos we have 4 of our little guys who have deformed feet/nails. But yeah is so worth a reminder, these things can be deadly for our fids, and they can fray so quickly. Thanks for the reminder

Christy and I check the happy huts all the time ... in-fact, I think it's almost time to replace one!

Thanks for the reminder.

Those ropes when they get torn can do some serious damage...
