Wine corks as toys?

[thekarens]

My new hobby/entertainment is wine and I've been keeping the corks. I've been thinking of drilling/punching holes in them and stringing them up as toys.

Any reason why I shouldn't use them? Obviously they are human safe.

I read somewhere people using them interested to find out if its safe

I only drink Corona so no cork yet LOL

You could always cut off the bottom part of the corks, but yes- cork is fine [emoji106]

Real cork or synthetic?
I'd be worried about TCA (Trichloroanisole). It's supposedly harmless to people, but I haven't found any information regarding its effect on birds

Perfectly safe. My parents have given them to their birds forever (even the bottom part) and they just rip them up as foot toys. Only takes the zons maybe 5 minutes, the cockatoo 2. I bet that Zoe would make one last *maybe* a whole minute

Lol I say 10 seconds... Chili rips through them like there's no tomorrow [emoji33]
