There have been many pleasant responses to our holiday enrichment idea....but also a few comments expressing concerns. I thought I would send a quick note to make sure to clarify a few things. We do, of course, want your parrot to enjoy enrichment that is fun and safe. I thought I would also mention the wreath and raffia are untreated. Do make sure the grapevine wreath and the raffia you choose are untreated ...just like the other items mentioned. I use a wide variety of items for enrichment in my home, including things that might be destined for the recycle bin. This means always checking to make sure the items are chemical free and safe for my parrots. It is a good to allows keep this in mind when selecting toys for your birds. There was a question about the size of the wooden beads/stars and possible ingestion. In my experience parrots are pretty good wood chippers : ) They tend to destroy what is not edible as opposed to eat it. There are always exceptions of course and if you think your parrot may be inclined to ingest foreign objects you may have to be a bit more selective in your enrichment choices. And finally, this was not mentioned....but something I do practice. I tend to supervise interactions with toys that have strings, ropes, ties, etc. So in my house this a toy (due to the raffia) I would likely allow my parrots to interact with when I can supervise. This means it would be out on a playstand or perch when the birds are out of their enclosures and I can watch. Hopefully that answers any questions! I do highly encourage you to practice common sense when offering toys to your parrots. Enjoy! Barbara
