Story Bird: LeePe

"Had a major scare last night with LeePe.  He was playing on his boings and all the toys between the two and hanging in them.  I looked over at him and he was leaning sideways into this toy, standing on his boing,  not moving an inch.  I called his name as I was hopping up.....got to him...he wasn't moving but his eyes were open...all I could think of was he was
dead.....or seizing.  I moved the toy and he came right with it.....and just leaned hanging onto the chain.  Well then he opened his mouth...by then T. was there and freaking...and I saw that the split ring-O ring, jump ring...what ever you want to call it......was caught on his lower beak......so I got it off and he got held for a long time.........one big pity party...it was
the appropriate size..and closed as well as possible. 

Birdsafe Note:  This was a "solid ring" that has one opening which is closed, but strong birds can get these open.  These type rings and split rings (key rings) are very dangerous and only solid rings, quicklinks, or toy hangers should be used to hang toys.
