Posted May 21, 200520 yr I found a nice piece of tinsel (like what you decorate Xmas trees with) yesterday and was wondering if i could let Blinkie play with it??? I remember Tweety used to love playing in the tinsel on the Xmas tree so thought Blinkie might be able to have some fun with it. What do you think??
May 21, 200520 yr aww that wont be good, i have so much tinsel around at christmas, does this mean we cant have it this year Edited May 21, 200520 yr by Andy
May 21, 200520 yr Author I wouldn't have thought it would be bad.....not if you were watching carefully....but i'm not going to intentionally give it to him to play with. Budgeover, i think you're right! It's just not worth the risk! Andy, I wouldn't worry at Christmas unless your budgies are addicted to shredding it or something. Edited May 21, 200520 yr by Bea
May 21, 200520 yr Author Hehe! That's a bit mean! Making more work for whoevers in charge of cleaning! :(Laughing out loud):
May 21, 200520 yr but think of all the fun my budgies would have swinging from the cieling taring them down it would be soo cool
May 21, 200520 yr *When swallowed, tinsel can cause digestive upsets and intestinal blockage, it may be best to avoid it altogether). Some advice I found searching on this topic Anne
May 21, 200520 yr aww, it will probarbly be the same for all those dangaly things you hang from the ceiling wont it?
May 21, 200520 yr i cant find a picture but sombody must know what i mean hehe Edited May 21, 200520 yr by Andy
May 21, 200520 yr i know what you mean andy i gave casper a large silver bauble last year with a piece of string attatched and he loved pulling it around. he could probably see his reflection in it. i think i would only give tinsel if i pulled it quite hard and none of the little stirngs came out in my hand...and even then only under extreme close supervision. as chirpy said though, if in doubt - dont risk it
May 21, 200520 yr (Laughing out loud) we usually go mad with tinsel, evetything covered in it and hardly being able to see the cieling for baloons and those dangly things , okay, we might go slightly over the top (Laughing out loud), oh are fairy lights okay we have them all over too hehe
May 21, 200520 yr us too andy! we do tend to get a bit carried away with the decorations! i think fairy lights are okay just makes ure the birds dont start biting the wires - i tell casper when he starts to chew the cable that hangs the ceiling light that he will go 'TZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!' if he bites it! :fear
May 22, 200520 yr (Laughing out loud) Last christmas my neighbour's budgies had made a nest in their christmas tree, so they had to turn off all the lights and take off all the decorations before theyfinaly caught the two budgies. :(Laughing out loud): Edited May 22, 200520 yr by Sparky
