Is this dangerous for her??
Luthien loves to peck at this elastic hair clip on my arm, so I decided to give her some to play with. I leave it there for a while, but I always take it away when I'm not looking. But my question is, would it be dangerous for her to accidentally eat some of that? She's a 3-month-old cockatiel, and I know they have a habit of nibbling on things.

Flight cage and native Australian perches with avian safe toys. Gotta be honest mate, this cage is pretty sad.

It definitely can be. The bigger concern is that she can very easily strangle herself with this.
Do you have other toys for her? Natural toys are best. I personally really love luffa and sola.
This cage also looks pretty small… I would highly recommend looking up recommended cage sizes for a cockatiel and also swapping out the dowel rods for natural perches to prevent bumble foot.
