Toilet Paper?

[Lesa1211]

I have a toy idea that includes a roll of toilet paper and I was curious if it's safe for birds to shred toilet paper?

i guess it's safe. i know of a lot of birds, including my own, that love shredding all sorts
of paper, lol.

I use register tape, Walmart carries it really cheap! I don't think TP pulls/shreds well...never tried it though

Register tape is a very good idea!

If you use T.P. please make sure it's none of that scented or lotion stuff. I guess I should clarify... don't use it for a bird toy. Using it for your rear end is fine!!

Firmer paper makes better toys. Soft paper might be seen as nesting material. Not good. Though, my babies like to shred the cardboard rolls that paper towels & toilet paper comes on.

I have a wooden paper roll holder that my son made me in highschool... It's now part of Max's play area with a roll of toilet paper... Max doesn't use the toilet paper much, but I use it to clean up his poos... Max still plays with the holder itself, and the baby rings I put on top of the paper...

Yes, I heard the glue on the toilet/paper towel rolls were toxic to birds as well so I don't chance it. Which is a shame because I have a bird that loves to shred, shred, shred!

Well I use Scott Naturals. It's doesnt have a roll.
