Best Answer To Birds Question
I would not recommend you use food dyes on anything you give your bird. Many food colourings are synthetic and are not natural. Synthetic food colours are sometimes derived from petroleum or coal tars, in high doses these dyes have been found to cause cancer in lab rats. They can also cause allergies and behavioural problems. All dyes, red, green, blue and yellow have all been linked to tumors, allergies and hyperactivity.

Answer 1I dont know the correct way to dye the rope, but I would not use anything but food coloring. There are bird toys out there painted with "child safe paint", but I have heard that even those are really not good for birds as a bird is so much smaller than a child and it is still paint .I know the food coloring is mixed with something before you put in the rope, but I cant remember know you can type in food coloring /dying bird toys or something like that and it will bring you to a web luck to you. To the other 2 answers; I dont remember ever hearing that food coloring can be dangerous to tell me where you read that so I can read up on it. Thank you.

Answer 3I would skip the food coloring and place foods in it,such as millet spray,or anything else you can insert or clip to way it instantly becomes a cool,attractive thing to your Birdie.
Answer 4use can only use veg able colour
Answer 5You have purchased a natural product so why do you need to colour it? Most dyes contain substances that are in some-ways dangerous so think before you do this . Is it worth the damage you "May" cause to your bird,it will not be bothered about the colour all it is interested in is the pleasure it will get from it. There is a Red colourant used by Canary breeders and it has been used over many years without any harmfull?? results,this you can obtain from a good pet store.
