[rec.birds] INDOOR chew sticks

	I have great success with the disposable chopsticks
that are locally widely available as bird toys.  They are a soft
wood that chews up nicely and are light enough to be carried
around by even a small bird.  They seem to like to chew
on the end and then throw them around.  There appears to
be no treatment to the wood and once again they are
for "human consumption."  Since they can be given to the
bird right out of the package, there is no danger of
contamination with bacteria from the mouth.
