    Default Bo almost died today

    She got her head stuck in a harmless looking plastic link That came with this swing http://www.petstages.com/toyprod.asp?case=522 The link for hanging it comes with a few more of this product line . It is narrow on one end . If Greg had not been the same room with her I would be posting a very tragic goodbye to my little yellow lover. I just want every one to know how fast a terrible accident can happen . I removed all of the links from her cage and am now using big three inch wide hoops to hang her toys and swings:val:

    Thanks for the post...a gentle reminder to be careful of our choice of toys and things we put in our Lovies cages.

    OMG! So glad to hear Bo is ok. If you get a chance, can you take a picture of the type of link that was used for better clarity? Thanks for the tip about this toy. We try hard to give our lovies a safe environment, but there are times when freaky things happen. Bo is one lucky and loved little girl!

    Yes, thank you for the tip and the post! I'm so glad Bo is OK!!!! I can't open the link but I do know that all toys have to be inspected. I know there are some really good parrot toy manufactures out there but I don't trust any toy until I inspect them. Again, I am so happy to hear that Bo is OK.

    This time I was able to view the link for the swing and, oh my, it looks like a totally safe toy! And the plastic links that you showed also look safe. Thanks so much for posting this and sharing those photos. As careful as I think I am, this is a toy that I would not have questioned till now.

    Definitely shoot off an e-mail to the company that makes that toy... and maybe to Drs. Foster & Smith, b/c they sell that brand in their catalogs!

    I am SO sorry that this happened but am SO grateful that DH was there to help sweet Bo out.

    Many ((((HUGS)))) and peaceful thoughts your way.

    I'm so glad Bo is okay. Lovies can get themselves into so much trouble so easily. Bo's lucky someone was there to help her out.

    OMG! I'm so glad Bo is okay! You should talk to the company, if this could happen to Bo, it can happen to any Lovie who has this link in their cage. Bo made it, but another may not have if they had gotten stuck.
    Good thing Bo's okay!

    Unhappy Re: Bo almost died today

    OH MY GOD!!! Kiwi has that exact same toy, or he did until 5 minutes ago, in his cage. He LOVES to chew on the links that Bo got his head caught in. i actually remember thinking how safe it was or looked.

    i am so relieved that bo is okay, and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing. i cannot bear to think what might have happened to bo, or to kiwi.
