Cuddle Hut for Opie! PS- I love Etsy!

Just had to share this as I just got it in the mail yesterday! I ordered this off of Etsy from SewlyInspired, and couldn't be happier!! She makes the cutest personalized Cuddle Huts, and they are so well made! I just had to share since I opened the package and literally shrieked!!

Cuddle huts are awesome for some birds. Mango my Sun Conure LOVED his and slept in it every night. They are cozy, can help keep your Bitty Birdies snuggly and warm, and they also feel very protected in them. However, there are some dangers associated with them with certain birds. Below are some precautions/tips to follow if you decide one may be good for your bird.

1 - Some females may view this as a nest. If so you should discontinue use. Females may become very aggressive or hormonal in guarding their "nest". It can with some birds be so severe that they may begin to lay eggs. I have only provided these for male birds to be safe.

2 - Heavy chewers may want to chew the fabric. If you notice your bird chewing the fabric, remove it immidiatly. Loose threads or fabric not only pose an impaction risk if swallowed, but can also catch parts of your bird leading to injuries, and in worst case death if they become entangled. *This is also true for rope products or even cage covers.

3 - Inspect your cuddle hut often. If there is any damage, discard it. It is not worth the risk.

4 - Research your materials. Make sure the materials are bird safe. Also, if you wash it, use dye and fragrance free detergent, and do not use dryer sheets.

As with all products, use common sense. Cuddle huts are awesome for some birds, but not for every bird. I hope Opie will like his, but if not, or he is a chewer, his safety will always come first! Stay safe and snuggly everyone! :)
