Quality Wood

Do you know first hand, a place to purchase quality wood toys for a conga african grey?

I would almost recommend Petsmart…but they sell copper bells. And other toys with unsafe metals (zinc). Copper is another metal harmful to alot of birds. I thought it was safe. It was advertised as bird safe and zinc free…then my bird got sick and I found out otherwise. My vet noticed the copper bell (his favorite) in his travel cage and immediately suggested copper poisoning and testing for it. But it was too late. He died before results could even be tested. And I’m still not sure if that was the cause. Just be careful with what you choose. Choose from the larger toys for parrots and stay away from certain metals. They can cause death if even the smallest part is scraped and swallowed during play.
