Exclamation making your own toys

I was wondering if curly ribbons were bad to use on toys?

I use corn cob in the bottom of my cages but have heard this is bad and I also do not have crates in the bottom for any of them,now im scared because

you should get grates. your birds could be exposed to a lot of bacteria and germs.

You should toss out the corn cobb and use only black and white newspaper, printer paper, wax paper, butchers paper, or similar... although birds do love to chew! So a grate or cage tray would be best.

Curly ribbons are not a good idea if the bird can ingest them.
