Is this rope safe for my parrot to chew?
Yes, it is made of pure cotton and wood, which are safe for birds to chew, provided the rope is monitored for long strings.
Can I wash the climbing rope?

What birds are best suited for this 23mm diameter rope?
This diameter is ideal for small to medium-sized birds like budgies, parakeets, and cockatiels.
How long should I keep the rope in the cage?
Keep it as long as it remains structurally sound and free of dangerous fraying or significant damage.
Can the rope be used outside of the cage?
Yes, it can be used on a play gym or supervised play area, provided it is securely fastened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, secure both ends of the rope to the sides of your cage using standard cage fasteners or clips. Ensure the rope is taut enough to prevent tangling but loose enough to provide a slight bounce for your bird. Compatibility is excellent for most parrot and parakeet enclosures. For care, wipe the wooden blocks with a damp cloth if they become soiled. It is critical to perform a weekly inspection of the cotton rope; if you notice long, loose threads, trim them immediately to avoid the risk of entanglement.
