Is it allright for birds to play with old keys? I handed Ruby 2 to play with but then I got to wondering if they are ok?

I honestly dont think they are safe. Metals are toxic. Try the baby keys from the dollar store. My fids love them.

I wouldn't chance it. Ollie's grabbed mine a couple times, but I don't let her chew on them. She has some plastic keys from the baby section at walmart- they make noises when she pushes the buttons.

Most keys can cause heavy metal poisoning, they do make bird safe keys. They are ionized aluminium, I have about 3000 of them left from my bird toy business days.

Well then...we will all give you our addresses and you can ship them out.

Honestly I'd be glad to! The boxes are taken up much needed space.
