Ice?
I was wondering about ice - is it safe to allow the birds to play with an ice cube or two? Charlie Parker is fascinated by it and I we've been having record heat here so I floated one in his "wading pool" this weekend along with his usual bath toys. He tries to catch it in his beak (usually missing) and then splashes around looking for it when it disappears. On the rare occasion that he manages to catch a small piece he usually shakes it away (too cold to keep, I think) but I was a little worried that he might crack his beak if he did get in a good chomp, as I know that crunching ice is very bad for human teeth.
