Bamboo is safe for your birds. My wife and I actually have a small bamboo grove that we planted in the back yard, and a sprig of the fresh bamboo is a great treat for our birds!
The problem is that these toys you have pictured come from China and are painted.
How many times in the last month have you heard about toys from China having lead based paint!??
We have stopped buying any toys from China due to this fact! Its just not worth the risk to us !
Good luck!

Yes.
I will say that I myself would not buy anything from ebay for my birds. Even if its an excellent price. Ebay stuff comes from peoples homes that you have no idea what they're doing there. They could have sick animals, or be filthy. Depending on the company website I may get something from there, but most of all I prefer to go to stores and get my toys. Sure parrot speciality stores are few and far between, but I prefer to know where my toys have been, and have a better chance they've been somewhere clean, then take a big chance on an auction site. Ya know what I mean jelly bean?
And you probably can get those cheaper. Shipping costs and all.

Hi again! Those are supposed to be ok, but I believe you can get them cheaper, maybe windycityparrot.com has them. If you live nearby, go there, because I got a really nice, big cage for $100. Also, if the toy is for a cockatiel, then they may be a bit big. Good luck though. Contact me if you need anything.

The bamboo is safe but you don't know what it's painted with.
You need a special non toxic paint or dye that's safe for the birds.
You can ask the seller what they've been painted with.

Yes, good price too, but you have to wonder if they had a diseased bird that died or if they are a pet shop. They still could have had birds that you wouldn't want yours to come in contact with.

Any hook-billed bird would love to shred those! They should be quite safe, as long as the dye isn't toxic.
