Ooooo ok so just dry it off and it would be ok ? this has happened to me many a time, the toy doesn't look as nice afterwards, but it's still safe for the budgies. |

That is great! It is vegetable dye that has been used and these are budgie-safe. I would be more concerned about the chain and bells. You will have to check them regularly for rust, and make sure the chain isn't too long.Budgies can get caught up in chains, as well as rope and string.

I mean the metal will need to be checked regularly once the birds start to use it. Each week while it is getting a wash is the best.
