Doesnā€™t live w/ us and canā€™t currently house them
I recently got my sun conure, Kiwi (7 yrs), a new bed because sheā€™s chewed up a significant portion of her old bed over the last year or so. I was looking for some tips to get her used to the new bed so sheā€™d use it, but I discovered fluffy beds are bad for birds? Both the new and old bed are fluffy and now Iā€™m not sure if I should be concerned. Sheā€™s had her old bed since I got her at 2 months old, but
a) sheā€™s always kinda chewed on it (sheā€™s only started to really chew on it/destroy it within the last year/year and a half)
b) only seemed to rip it up/chew bits off and not ingest/eat any of it.
Iā€™m not sure she would use a not fuzzy bed, and Iā€™ve never any health issues with her. My sisterā€™s jendaya, Loki (5yrs) also has had fuzzy beds and hasnā€™t had any issues with them.
So, should I be concerned? Should I return her new bed and get her a non-fluffy one? Also, how do I get her to adjust to having a new bed so that sheā€™ll use it?


If youā€™re wondering what be I got her, itā€™s this one:
 
Sorry, but those are just about the worst ones to get. Especially if your bird chews them up. Aside from ingesting those fibers, which are inert, indigestible and likely to cause a blockage eventually, the underlying cloth can form loops and snags which can catch feet and claws. If your not around to free her, parrots are capable of chewing off a foot to free themselves. PLease if you MUST have this type of hut, find ones made from natural fibers, or make one from those sea grass matts available, just bend it into shape. Sea grass is a good substitute.
