Can I put my diseased parakeets toys in my healthy parakeets cage?

My parakeet recently died of what looks like a tumor. I have two other parakeets in a different cage. Can I put my deceased parakeet’s toys into my healthy parakeets’ cage? Will my healthy parakeets become sick from playing with the toys, even if I wash them with soap and water?

    yes you can as long as you wash them. wash all the toys and perches in vinegar and water make sure all the poop and dirt is off them and dry them well with a clean cloth. I do not like bleach because it is toxic so I don’t use that with my birds.

    it depends what kind of thing it died from, if it was a tumor i expect that it would be alright. make sure you wash them well though….if they start acting strange, take the toys out and use different or new ones.I hope i helped!

    I wouldn’t. I would get new ones.

    Do you want to take that chance?? Even if it died of a tumor there might have been unlying ilness not known about. Esp, if they are things chewed or pooped on.

    Get new ones, don’t take the chance, the birds could get sick or die.

    Absolutely!

    i think u should wash them with bleach then put it back but i would think throwwing them away would be way safer as germs can stick to a object after it has been washed.

    I think it’s safe to put the toys in.
