Was just going through yesterday's E-mail & thought this was worth posting.....
A friend of mine in Texas has a female ekkie that is recuperating from a bruised wing & side. During the day, Daisy has a closed-in patio to enjoy and they hung several lengths of plastic chain for climbing & playing.....
Apparently Daisy has chewed on several links, but it had not been noticed.....anyway, over the weekend Daisy was really enjoying herself, swinging & bouncing on her chain, when one of the links broke & she did a Tarzan vine swing into the brick wall. Their vet figures she couldn't get her toes out of the links fast enough & her weight acted like a clock pendulum....
My friend said he almost ended up in the hospital too.....it seems he witnessed Daisy's injury & tripped over a braided throw rug, trying to get to Daisy.....
When I read the message I thought of Fargo's new aerial play area, so if you provide long plastic chains for your bird's climbing pleasure, keep close check on possible chewing damage, especially if this chain is used to hang toys or anything of any weight.....
