Title: Boings Post by: BuffaloParrot on April 21, 2009, 04:36:33 pm This could be put into the Parrot Housing category but this seemed more appropriate here in Parrot product pros & cons. Do your guys like them? Do you like them? Many of our guys love them but after a while you have to be on the lookout of them getting frayed from chewing etc. This could get a toe caught and end up very bad! I check them regularly and will trim down the loose threads for safety reasons instead of spending more $ on a new one. Kito has chewed one down to the metal and it was time for a new one. Just curious to hear others thought. :)

Title: Re: Boings Post by: Ditty on April 21, 2009, 06:55:59 pm It is one of Yoshi's fav perches actually. I don't like the sisal because it seems so rough on the feet but I like the cotton.
Speaking of chewing them up, one of Zuri's fav toys are those Doggie rope bones that I ziptied outside her cage. (outside for supervision with it) She has chewed one end off already and has pretty much taken about 3/4 of the other side. Keeps her from chewing her rope perches so much.

Title: Re: Boings Post by: macawlover2 on April 22, 2009, 08:27:07 am If I was a bird, I would love boings!! But my birds don't, unfortunately. That doesn't stop me from buying them, though! I think I have 3 that are still in the wrapper. I bought them a couple weeks ago because they were on sale, and I'm keeping them until "that" bird comes along... ;)
Title: Re: Boings Post by: sophiemae on April 22, 2009, 10:20:56 am Thanks Dad :) Once I saw them I knew what they were....duh :D
Title: Re: Boings Post by: zimbasmom on April 22, 2009, 11:37:54 am I bought one for Zimba and she was scared of it...oh the drama ::) so I gave it to a client that has the green cheek conure that I watch, he loves it.
Ditty thats funny I gave zim one of those and she love it too, it is on top of her cages and she picks it up like a foot toy and she too has chewed the ends off a few. I get them at the dollar store.

I do have to agree though that the chew factor and the little strings that are produced from this can be a pain in the rear to keep trimmed.
