The Dirty Little Secret of the
Fast-Growing Bird Toy Industry
Has Now Been Revealed...

“Your Parrot’s Toys May Be KILLING Him... And You Don't Even Know It!”

Discover The Hidden Dangers In Those Innocent-Looking Bird Toys You’re Purchasing From Your Local Pet Stores...

... And Find Out How You May Be Slowly, Unknowingly, KILLING Your Bird With Those Loving Gifts You're Giving Him!


An Urgent Letter From Chet Womach
Parrot Behavior Specialist and Concerned Bird Owner

Tuesday, 10:43 a.m.

Dear Parrot Lover,

I urge you to read the following page carefully...

... Because what I'm about to share with you could literally save your bird's life.

Your bird's toys -- the very SAME toys you buy him as little gifts during your regular trips to the local pet store -- may be slowly killing him... poisoning him to death... and you have absolutely NO IDEA!

You see, every year, the popularity of parrots increases in the U.S...

In fact, experts now believe that more than 15% of U.S. households keep pet birds.

And with this rise in demand for parrots, there has been an explosion of bird toy manufacturers who are eager to make a quick buck off loving pet owners, but who have ZERO practical knowledge of what it takes to keep your birds safe and healthy.

And do they care...? It's hard to say...

Greedy Bird Toy Manufacturers Don't Care
Whether Your Bird Lives Or Dies.

In the last year alone, you've probably seen the news stories of tainted pet food imported out of China killing dogs and cats, because it used "melamine fillers" to fake higher levels of protein!

Or, how about the recalls of toys made in China because they used lead paint! Poisonous to children!

So it can't surprise you all that much to hear that bird toys have now been affected by a lack of quality control and standards, too!

Here's what you need to know to keep your bird safe...

Your Bird's Toys May Be Polluted With
Dangerous Toxins and Poisons!

Just because you're buying toys from a reputable local pet store does NOT mean they're safe for your bird.

First off, stores that carry a wide range of pet supplies don't have the time or energy to research the safety and quality of every product they carry.

If they did, wouldn't SOMEBODY have uncovered the melamine issue in the pet foods earlier, before so many dearly loved family pets had to die??? One report I saw said there were over 60 MILLION recalls from that problem alone!

And second, you and I both know that parrots are highly sensitive creatures, with a mile long list of "common" toxins and chemicals they can't be exposed without risking their lives!

It's pretty darn unlikely that your average pet store owner is going to have a comprehensive understanding of what's poisonous or dangerous for your bird, and what's not.

When they're buying bird toys to sell in their stores, they're thinking... "Will I profit?"... and "Does this toy look attractive enough to sell?"

And that's about it.

But here's the REAL kicker...

Reading Toy Labels Is Not Good Enough...
Your Bird Could STILL Be At Risk!

This is important, so I'll repeat it again...

Reading the labels on each bird toy you purchase
simply isn't good enough!

Because even if a toy label says it's safe and approved by bird experts, it doesn't mean it's truly safe!

No manufacturer wants to get their butt sued for making untrue claims or promises.

So if their products contain dangerous chemicals or substances... Well, heck, they simply leave those important little details off their labels.

And that means, you have NO WAY of knowing whether or not a toy contains toxic chemicals unless you're willing to fork over hundreds of dollars to have your toys individually tested.

Practical? I don't think so! And yet...

You Can't Blindly Trust Your Local Pet Supplier To Do The Homework For You!

Poisons and toxins that have been commonly found in bird toys include...

Formaldehyde and Formalin... Most often found in leather made outside the USA, which can cause nasal tumors, rashes, inflammation and respiratory problems!

Zinc... Most commonly used to coat iron and steel used in bird toys to keep them from rusting! Common signs of zinc toxicity include feather plucking, excessive urine in droppings, weight loss, weakness, anemia, gastrointestinal problems, hyperglycemia, seizures and DEATH!
Lead... This is one of the most common poisoning in birds and it can cause nervous system disorders, usually seizures. Signs include lethargy, weight loss, regurgitation, loss of balance and staggering, head tilt, circling, blindness, head tremors, convulsions, and seizures.
Arsenic... Typically found in pressure treated woods used to make cheap bird toys -- and no big surprise, arsenic is poisonous to birds!

Woods that have been stained or varnished to add color can be highly toxic. And so are toys made with woods like cedar, red cherry, plywood, and oak!

... And of course, this is just a short list.

Signs Your Bird Is ALREADY In Trouble:
Please, please, please rush your bird to the vet immediately if he starts exhibiting any of the following symptoms, which are all common signs of toxicity and poisoning:

* Anemia
* Loss Of Balance
* Blindness
* No Appetite
* Bloody Feces
* Paralysis
* Bloody Urine
* Poor Breathing
* Circling
* Rashes
* Convulsions
* Regurgitation
* Depression
* Respiratory Problems
* Drinking Way More Water
* Seizures
* Feather Plucking
* Staggering
* Green Diarrhea
* Tremors
* Head Tilt
* Upset Stomach
* Head Tremors
* Vomiting

* Increased Urination
* Weakness
* Lethargy
* Weight Loss


... And keep in mind, symptoms of toxicity can range from mild to severe!

So while a mild case of toxicity might depress your bird's nervous system making him seem irritable and generally unhappy... more serious cases can cause d
egeneration of the kidney, pancreas, liver, and DEATH!

This is very, very serious!

And Don't Think Your Bird Is Safe
Just Because He's NOT Exhibiting
These Symptoms Today!

Just because your bird isn't showing symptoms of toxicity and poisoning today, doesn't mean your toys are "safe"...

In severe cases of toxicity (acute toxicity), where your bird ingests a large amount of the poison in one shot by swallowing flakes of paint or metallic objects, the symptoms may appear suddenly and severely...

... So you'll notice a change in your bird's health very quickly!

But in cases where your bird may be ingesting very small amounts of the toxins on a daily basis (chronic toxicity)... the symptoms may not be noticeable at all...

... Until it's too late for you to do anything about it!

That's why prevention is the very best way to deal with toxicity!
