Just a note on another dangerous factor in bird toys: some come with a carabener clip on top (the metal clip you push in to open and attach the toy to the cage) I had a bird figure out how to open the clip and it got stuck on the opening under his beak. It didn't break the skin so, other than terrifying himself, he was totally okay. Until it happened AGAIN this time he was able to both unscrew and open the clip and this time it went deep. After a couple stitches he was fine but he wouldn't touch any toy for years after that and it took me a long time of training to desensitize him to toys. Now he is great but I always remember never to keep those toys on clips. I just wanted to say something for other bird owners. I've never seen or heard of it happening to other birds but they're very smart creatures and now that I know it's possible for them to open those clips and literally hang themselves, I have to get the word out to other bird owners. Jamie I hope you see this it's just an FYI for everyone!! Thank you so much for everything you do!! Because of you my bird went from having lost more than 50% of his feathers from plucking to being almost completely covered and ready to fly within less than six months of my care💚 thank you thank you thank you!! Oh and my electus Hank says thank you too!!
Thanks for the condolences and replies guys! I'm glad I can help others avoid the same scary situation. Hank is doing amazing now though! I can't wait to schedule a consult so Jamie and Dave can meet him. He'll be one of their flight students one day
Yes there scary I like the d clips with the bit that screws over it but see dangers in those as well so found a plastic version.. I m trying to get for my Parrot store that has everything you could need for parrots and parrot ppl... Have a look at www.BigbieParrot.Com
I have a parrotlet and her favorite toy was a frayed cotton rope ring. She loved nestling into it and preening the tiny strings. One day my dad and sister yell to me that she was stuck so I ran into the room to find that her neck was wrapped up in the rope and she was screeching, trying to get out. I barely managed to cut her out in time and I made sure the toy went straight into the trash after that (after making sure she was ok). If they weren’t in the room when that happened she would have suffocated to death which is honestly the scariest thing to think about.
Oh yes, i learned that lesson also, happened to my conure, never again will i get that type of toy! So both you and i got lucky to be right there to help our birds!😱♥️I almost lost him, had I would have not been home, it wasn't easy untangling and carefully cutting him free from this close call!👍
Yes, Jinx is my favorite, although i love all of there birds, My conure ,Jake, has a very similar personality like Jinx, course he's smaller than Jinx!!🤣🤣♥️
I never realized how much of a good deal your toy bundles were! 3 toys for just over $20! A lot of times one toy is $20 by itself! Once I get my bird I will definitely be getting toys through you!
Why are bird feet so cute 😭 I always thought it was adorable how my bird would sleep in his fabric hunt or rub his face all over different fabrics until I saw that picture of a bird opened up and filled with fibers. No more fabric huts for him
Wow I I'm gonna be super informed by the time I get one thanks to watching your channel the last year and a half. Thanks for caring so much for these little creatures from God and informing others
What species are you going to get? I have a green cheek conure, he is easily trained, loves playing, got him when he was 3 months old, he is pinapple color, and not very loud at all, he talks alot, maybe choose a green cheek, he will be 2 years old in September!🎉♥️whatever you choose sounds like you did your research! Let me know what species you get!♥️
Jamie, absolutely love the busy box, (great idea)! All the detail into the asking of your toys is impressive. Jinx is such a scene grabber, Always nice to see you two together. Product looks great and most important safe. All the best!
I think color matters to my scarlet. She's scared of natural colored toys, but gets super excited about brightly dyed toys. When she was on fruity pellets, she would not eat the orange ones and the purple were her favorite.
Heavy metal toxicity can be caused by metal toys. Leaf and zinc are generally the metals that cause toxicity. Be sure that all the metal chains or skewers that are holding up your toys are either stainless steel or nickel plated. Chrome plated is also sometimes safe. Anything galvanized is unsafe. Aluminum is safe.
Only bell I would suggest is stainless steel cylindrical bell. Petsmart actually has a one that my love bird loved to ring even thought it was as big as he was. I think it would be ok up to a macaw sized maybe. but totally like a amazon or a grey. Its like a chime. its pleasant to hear too.
What about mirrors / mirror toys? They are nothing but a mental torture device. Had a really hard time finding parrot safe toys myself. The stuff they sell in pet stores can be dangerous if not fatal to birds. They sell it in the bird isle, it is colorful, people think their birds need it. Seeing mirrors and happy huts in peoples parrot cages drives me up a wall. I found out about planetpleasures parrot toy website. Seems like your bird boxes have some interesting looking items in them that I don't see in their web store at all. Those pins are awesome. I will have to order the small box for my budgies / cockatiel on my next paycheck :D
Love you!! And I know my uncle had a galah and he had treated pine timber as one of the toys, the bird chewed/shredded the wood daily, so I bought some of the toys I got for my pigeon ( some were to big/ my pigeon Scooter doesn’t play with many toys) and we ended up taking the galah to my bird vet and the bird was poisoned by the treated pine! BAD BAD BAD!!
Yes. Check things! I have worked with horses and years ago there were places selling "wood shavings"( these are used on the floors of their stalls) they were toxic as they were made with treated wood(!) (what??!) Many of exposed horses died from this. No joke. So yes check things out.
Thank you for doing this video. Foam is pretty common as a spacer in toys and they are super bad for birds. Birds chew them and ingest it causing impaction which has lead to many deaths.
I’m buying a rescue bird from ronies super soon! The way they do things is so professional. I definitely recommend getting a bird from there. They do not run that business to profit money off of it, but to simply help birds find a home.
My green-cheeked conure (Elleri) LOVES to make noise. So, I replace any bells on toys with super hard plastics that can clink together. Her beak can't break these, so I don't have to worry that she'll injure herself, but she still gets to have her clatter.
Oh Jamie Leigh, you and Jinxy couldn't Be more adorable together! Actually I think it's good for people to be reminded that tricks take time to train, but he did both of them a little, just not on command quite yet
I like so much to do homemade toys, recicling materials, speccially boxes, natural wood, plastics, we have in our house. Generally is so spensive to buy must of toys in the market. Jinx is so fun. He like singing
I don't even own a bird (YET! I'm in school studying to become an Ornithologist, so I'd find it a disgrace to me if I were to never get one. Soon hopefully!) but I still want to start buying some toys just to have stocked up and ready for when the day comes! My bird will have the best of the best from day one with me! Thank you for always being so amazing to everyone's birds!
Thank you for showing that frayed bird rope. My Moluccan was climbing on his swing when I noticed the top frayed and he was working on it. I am so glad you warned us I promptly replaced it with a new one. My bird was not that thrilled about the new one but a slice of apple and pear nicely distracted him. My bird enjoyed his mystery box and is working on it now thanks.
You got the one little note 🎶 lol so darn cute 💕 Ok, what about kids toys ? I see so many videos where the have kids tiny toys. I’m always afraid of choking on a small piece but what do I know 🙈
We completely understand! We do rescue and often larger birds are brought with toys or cage that is not safe for that bird!! And big bird cages can be expensive.
My budgie died from getting tangled in a rope toy she wasn't strangled but we think she had a heart attack. I comment this on every bird video to spread the word.
I'm so glad you brought up bells! I had to take my cockatiel to the vet last year for metal poisoning caused by removing and swallowing the clapper of the bell. She made a full recovery but it was awful to see her in that state and since then I remove bells from all new toys.
I love watching your videos. They always make me laugh. You guys are adorable and deserve your own TV show! I don't own a bird but it is great fun to learn about other animals and how they think. Now, though, whenever I watch other people's bird videos, I usually think they need to go watch your videos. I see all the things they are misinterpreting about their birds behavior or needs. usually think "they need to watch Birdtricks".
Ingested rope can become impacted in the parrot’s craw/crop requiring surgery. I’ve heard several sad stories of conures, budgies, etc getting their foot entangled in a string & killing them selves trying to get loose. Very, very sad. My sun conure has multiple wood block toys but she ignores them for her kabob.
I am finally getting birds I love birds watch a lot of your videos and they have actually helped a lot with the type of birds I am getting. I have always wanted a budgie but I still live with my parents and they say no. My mom loves birds but livestock not parrots doves or pigeons. She has had chickens most of her life and she has decided that we are finally ready to get chickens I am so excited we are getting 12 hens and 1 or 2 roosters 🐓. Thank you so much bird tricks. You even help with livestock bird care too even if you don’t realize it.😁
I ordered the chunky box and the foraging box as well as the organic food mix. I’m excited. I know my greys will go chew crazy with them. Thank you for all your videos. ❤️🙏👍🏼
I bought a set of toys on amazon to add to the birds play stand. I could not believe what arrived. I sent it back and write a scathing review. Painted wood beads that were cracked, zinc chains and hooks, cotton rope chew toy and more. There was death and crop impaction all over the toy package.
it's sad that in Mexico very few bird owners even believe in giving their birds toys. I recently got a tiel and have realized NO ONE sells good bird toys here. Even if I ordered off of American websites, the shipping tends to be ridiculous. So now, I am trying to make my own toys for her! It's really helpful knowing how to make safe ones so thank you!!
Make some puzzles for your birds to work on. I assume parrots have similar or greater intelligence as cockatoos. Such that wooden dowels can be used as obstacles they can interact with, allowing the parrot to disassemble some sort of locking mechanism (one example is the dowels block a door that the bird has to pull each one before opening the door and accessing the food)
My family had a budgie 20 yrs ago and he had a Christmas bell that he fed and got hormonal with. If you wanted him to come back to his cage you ring the bell. He was very protective and kinda viscious.
Jinxy is such a cutie! 🥰 Where i live there is no comercial safe toys, so after almost a year of research and reading i'm starting my own line of toys for parrots 💖🐦 this video was super helpful, it would be awesome if you guys could make another one listing all the things and materials that are safe to use. Also, if anyone reads this and have info or links that could help me, i'll be glad to read them 😊 thanks!
im so glad that ive found this channel because i plan on getting a scarlet or blue and yellow macaw in a few years sop im trying to get as much info about the dos and donts xD
You covered a lot of important tips. Here are a couple more: Toys made with wooden popsicle sticks should be avoided. When parrots chew them, the popsicle sticks can turn into long, sharp, needle-like pieces of wood that can cause injury. Not all stainless steel bowls are safe. Some contain toxic metals, therefore purchase high quality (usually a lot more expensive) stainless steel dishes for your birds and other pets. I discard the "stainless steel" dishes that come with the cage and purchase the dishes elsewhere to ensure safe stainless steel quality.
My amazon absolutely annihilated the 3 suns toy when I gave it to her. I guess she liked it! I also wanted to add that flimsy metal clasps used to attach toys can cause issues. Birds can easily unscrew these and get them caught in their beak. The hook then pierces the skin behind their bottom beak, requiring immediate medical attention.
@@Rihanna2003-l7h I'm not mocking. I have a pet macaw and also do wildlife rehab. I have 2 pet pigeons. One came to me with a broken wing and BirdTricks flight training methods helped me to get her to fly again. I also use their training methods for fledglings to help them build flight muscles before release. I get owls, song birds, water fowl, etc. Don't tell the others, but the owls have been my favorite so far.
I agree with everything but the bells- this night just be my budgie but he loves them! He sticks his face into them and just sings. He doesn't try to chew on them or anything he just sings into them and bangs them against the cage. Again though that may just be my budgie.
There is actually this one kind of bell where the outside is long and thin, the clapper is far enough up that the bird can’t grab it. If there were any bells I were to recommend, I’d be those (I don’t know what they’re called). I heard people talking about them and how they’re just generally better for bird toys (obviously only use them if they don’t get hormonal from them)
I bought my green cheek conure a chain toy and the hoops were big enough for him to get his head stuck in one, if I hadn't been home, he would have died, I blame myself for buying the toy, the hoops had sneakers on but he chewed them off. Never again am I buying toys like this.
Just a note on another dangerous factor in bird toys: some come with a carabener clip on top (the metal clip you push in to open and attach the toy to the cage) I had a bird figure out how to open the clip and it got stuck on the opening under his beak.

I've never seen or heard of it happening to other birds but they're very smart creatures and now that I know it's possible for them to open those clips and literally hang themselves, I have to get the word out to other bird owners.

Oh my goodness! Poor poor baby😢 I’m glad the birdie is ok now💖 thanks for sharing this info!
This happened to.. believe it or not. My childhood budgie. She was seriously injured but thankfully survived.
Thanks for the condolences and replies guys! I'm glad I can help others avoid the same scary situation. Hank is doing amazing now though! I can't wait to schedule a consult so Jamie and Dave can meet him. He'll be one of their flight students one day

What type if bird do you have?
It’s sad to think that not every bird owner will watch this and these tragic accidents will happen again.
Best thing you can do is share it with anyone who says the own a bird. 🙂
Good news is there are people like myself who don't even have a bird yet, but plan to someday and are learning all this good stuff ahead of time. :)

Is it just me or did anyone else say Jinxi! when you saw him😂 he is so adorable 😊
I do that every time I see him!!!
@@alexisstubbs3509 Ikr!!! all the time😂😂 its either Jinxi or Bubba!! 😂
every single time :D
Yes, Jinx is my favorite, although i love all of there birds, My conure ,Jake, has a very similar personality like Jinx, course he's smaller than Jinx!!🤣🤣♥️
Jinx eyeing your shoulder at the start 😂
Just a note: It's impossible to look stupid to a parrot fanatic audience while doing anything to please your birds :P
i like how she just spent 5 minutes at the end with Jinx going "babababaBAbabaaa"
And apparently neither Jinx nor I know what the correct reply is to that.
I never realized how much of a good deal your toy bundles were! 3 toys for just over $20! A lot of times one toy is $20 by itself! Once I get my bird I will definitely be getting toys through you!
Yes... I wish they were available in New Zealand.
@@Jevandtieriel and Australia :(
@@alanahjade27 I'm pretty sure they are available in Australia (I want to get them too) but with conversion and shipping, it becomes very expensive :(
@@jessandthebirds yeah that's what I mean, they're super expensive to ship so it's not worth it
I can get 10 toys for $20CAD
Talk about being distracted. My cat yanked my headphones out while I was watching this. How can I be upset at his cute wittle face? Hi Jynx! Hi Sunny!
Just so you know, Jinx is spelled this way.
Nothing is more hilarious and adorable to me than when a bird attempts to sing something, but inevitably butchers it completely haha!
Yes! Lol🤣🤣🤣
Sunny trying to fly at the end was adorable! I can't wait for his flight feathers to grow back so he can fly! 💙💛💚
Why are bird feet so cute 😭
I always thought it was adorable how my bird would sleep in his fabric hunt or rub his face all over different fabrics until I saw that picture of a bird opened up and filled with fibers. No more fabric huts for him
OMG that flush on that birds cheeks.. adorable 😍😍😍
is it just me or is Jamie GLOWING - love from London xx
I agree love from Nottingham love you jinx and sunny x
Usually when a woman is glowing, they are pregnant. Just sayin’! 🥰😘. Nana Janet
I noticed that too! 💛
I'm going to start letting you guy's pick out Baby's toys for now on!
"You're back." ...story of my life 😂
🤣🤣🤣
I love your interactions with Jinx. While I like all of your birds, Jinx is my personal fav. He's so gosh darned cute!
Me: *sitting on my bed*
My bird: *Waiting for the perfect moment to bite my face*

Thank you again going through safety about toys .
Jinx is adoreable, beautiful, entertaining, AND funny!
This video should be shared on every site regarding birds! Thank you for educating the public❤️
The bondi board looks perfect for my birds because they love stringy things!
It’s true, BirdTricks and Parrotjoy make the BEST parrot toys. They keep my amazon busy, very busy.
Thank you, Julie! A busy beak is a happy beak!
I love it❤️ especially your animals.
Only bell I would suggest is stainless steel cylindrical bell. Petsmart actually has a one that my love bird loved to ring even thought it was as big as he was. I think it would be ok up to a macaw sized maybe. but totally like a amazon or a grey. Its like a chime. its pleasant to hear too.

You can try a stainless steel nut and a stainless steel wire to hang your clapper those are all inert. Stainless steel is used in surgeries in humans
Also jinxie!!!! You're so CUTE 😍😍😍😍! What a scamp!
I brought some yesterday! I brought the seasonal feeding books, pellets, bread and all the freebies. Thank you ☺️

As always, an education watching your videos....oh and entertaining too...Jinx is a trip had me laughing thru out....BONUS!!!

I love me some Jinxi!! Seriously, he is just too much!! He needs to be in every video!!
My Sun Conure has a bell that's about 1.5". He rings it when he wants attention, especially if I start to leave when he still wants to play.
I bought a set of toys on amazon to add to the birds play stand. I could not believe what arrived. I sent it back and write a scathing review. Painted wood beads that were cracked, zinc chains and hooks, cotton rope chew toy and more. There was death and crop impaction all over the toy package.
I guess Jinx was so curious who Jamie are talking with.
If you put a monitor besides camera, Jinx will figure out this is a filming.
it's sad that in Mexico very few bird owners even believe in giving their birds toys. I recently got a tiel and have realized NO ONE sells good bird toys here. Even if I ordered off of American websites, the shipping tends to be ridiculous. So now, I am trying to make my own toys for her! It's really helpful knowing how to make safe ones so thank you!!

You covered a lot of important tips. Here are a couple more: Toys made with wooden popsicle sticks should be avoided. When parrots chew them, the popsicle sticks can turn into long, sharp, needle-like pieces of wood that can cause injury. Not all stainless steel bowls are safe. Some contain toxic metals, therefore purchase high quality (usually a lot more expensive) stainless steel dishes for your birds and other pets. I discard the "stainless steel" dishes that come with the cage and purchase the dishes elsewhere to ensure safe stainless steel quality.
Jinx is a delightful distraction!
My amazon absolutely annihilated the 3 suns toy when I gave it to her. I guess she liked it!
I also wanted to add that flimsy metal clasps used to attach toys can cause issues. Birds can easily unscrew these and get them caught in their beak. The hook then pierces the skin behind their bottom beak, requiring immediate medical attention.
Do subscription boxes count? Jinx you are the cutest character!!
Watching this with my tea in my lefty mug
Everyone one else:this will help with my parrot. Me: am I the only one watching this to help with my owls
I didn't know that we could get owls as pets lmao
microwavable black hole. My grandad rescues owls so we run an owl sanctuary
I watch for my parrot, but also my pigeons and wild rehab birds 🤣
sapphireblu76 r u being honest or are u just taking the mick out of me
@@Rihanna2003-l7h I'm not mocking. I have a pet macaw and also do wildlife rehab. I have 2 pet pigeons. One came to me with a broken wing and BirdTricks flight training methods helped me to get her to fly again. I also use their training methods for fledglings to help them build flight muscles before release. I get owls, song birds, water fowl, etc. Don't tell the others, but the owls have been my favorite so far.
I agree with everything but the bells- this night just be my budgie but he loves them! He sticks his face into them and just sings. He doesn't try to chew on them or anything he just sings into them and bangs them against the cage. Again though that may just be my budgie.
There is actually this one kind of bell where the outside is long and thin, the clapper is far enough up that the bird can’t grab it. If there were any bells I were to recommend, I’d be those (I don’t know what they’re called). I heard people talking about them and how they’re just generally better for bird toys (obviously only use them if they don’t get hormonal from them)
thank you so much your content is amazing!!! i have learnt so much
jinx's voice is *amazing and it gives me life.*
I bought my green cheek conure a chain toy and the hoops were big enough for him to get his head stuck in one, if I hadn't been home, he would have died, I blame myself for buying the toy, the hoops had sneakers on but he chewed them off. Never again am I buying toys like this.
My cockatiels had a shredding toy with a tiny bell at the bottom and they loved playing with it.
