Birdie Tip: We recommend not to use corn cob on the bottom of cages and playpens. Corn cob can expose your bird to bacteria and especially mold or fungi that can cause aspergillosis. Using paper is safer and it allows you to monitor droppings. Bird Brain Information: Parrots have taste buds and can distinquish many different flavors.
