I've been seeing everywhere people putting stuffed animals inside the cages with their birds. I have a couple of questions about this:

Is it safe to put stuffed animals with your birds? I mean won't they chew them up and possible injest the the stuffing?

If it is safe, or there are safe "atlernatives" what are they. I have an Umbrella cockatoo that loves to chew and am debating the stuffed animal thing to give her something to occupy and satisfy her chewing behavior?

Thanks for any of your help and advice.
