Is it dangerous to use this? (photo attached)

Post by TomAndGene »

I make miscellaneous toys from safe objects and i string them up using very heavy gauge fishing braid (a type of string)
Is thin/skinny line a risk to my bird, for example: could he get his foot tangled up and get stuck? or are IRN's capable of freeing themselves if that ever happened, Ive had them for about a month with no problems yet but i'm curious.

Attached a pic for a photo example.

I personally wouldn't use it although I can be paranoid. My vet recommended jute string.
