Despite this being the age of Google and instant information via smart phones, bird owners are still regularly "caught out" when making purchases for their feathered friends that are quite simply " not bird safe". In fact most retail stores (both brick and mortar and online) still in 2021 sell a plethora of "bird" items that are in reality nothing more that a bird injury (or worse) waiting to happen.
So what items are not in fact "bird safe"? Why are "unsafe" items still being sold in Australia to the uneducated bird owners and lovers? and Are there "bird safe" alternatives? And why do birds even need any of these items?
These were just a few of the questions we asked, and that other listeners asked us to find out!
Thanks to the assistance offered by Jesse from "For the Parrots" we have found out all the answers to these particular questions, and MORE!
