Wow Trish. Those toys are awesome. I am sure your Beaks and Dom will love them.

Do you have any problems with the Beaks and plastic? Bundii just chews/breaks/snaps pieces off and I am scared she will swallow them.

Bundii, when I first joined, someone said that plastic is fine for birds. They know it's not food and don't swallow it. So, I've always given the Beaks plastic things to play with and so far, so good. They like to snap up plastic forks and spoons. They love plastic bottletops. Most of all, they really enjoy soft baby toys (the sort you get on activity gyms). Mind you, none of the above is a substitute for good, honest wood! LOL! You should see all my doors and windows!
