Bird Toy Safety: What Every Bird Parent Should Know

At Squawk Box, your bird’s safety is our #1 priority. Every toy we include is thoughtfully designed with natural, bird-safe materials and tested for durability and fun. But just like with kids’ toys, supervision is key to keeping playtime safe and enriching. Although no bird toy is 100% risk-free, we believe that the enrichment benefits far outweigh the risks if proper precautions are taken.

💡 Why Supervision Matters

Even the safest toy can pose a risk if it’s damaged, chewed through, or used in an unintended way. Birds are curious, clever, and love to test limits—just one more reason we love them! But that also means it’s important to keep an eye out.

We recommend checking your bird’s toys daily for signs of wear and tear like:

• Fraying ropes

• Sharp edges from broken wood or other materials

• Loose or exposed metal

• Parts small enough to swallow

If something doesn’t look right, remove the toy immediately.

🛑 Important Safety Tips

To make playtime as safe as it is fun:

1. Always supervise play with new toys.

2. Avoid overcrowding the cage. Too many toys can reduce mobility or trap feet.

3. Rotate toys often. Keeps things exciting and helps spot issues early.

4. Match the toy to the bird. Size-appropriate toys matter! (We’ve made that easy by offering 4 box sizes.)

5. Never reuse broken or heavily chewed toys.
