How large a cord is this for? I am looking to protect lamp cords, not big power-tool extension cord type cords. Can a parrot chew through this?

This one is very large. I bought it and the smaller size (http://www.amazon.com/Cord-Protector-Crittercord-Protect-Hazardous/dp/B0014H51DY/ref=pd_bxgy_petsupplies_img_y) and really would have been happier with a couple of the smaller size. The smaller size is not as long, so you might want a couple of them. Yes, the lamp cord will fit in the smaller size. i am not familiar with parrots' chewing habits, but I suspect this will work.

This cord size is perfect for lamp cords. This is exactly what I use it for. I have a cat and she has not touched any cord secured by the Critter Cord. I don't know if this will protect a cord from a parrot's beak but for the inexpensive price of buying a cord to try it, would be well worth it for me. Good luck!

I use it for my lamp cords and it is fine. It takes a little time to get it one but it works well. Don't know about a parrot, never had one. But it does deter the bunny.

Hello! We use ours for the types of cords you are looking to protect. The micro cord protector is for smaller cords, like IPod cables. Our cats are big chewers and have not been able to chew through these cord protectors, but I'm not sure if your parrot could chew through it or not. I hope this helps!

It's about 6ft. Never having owned a parrot I am not sure. I do know it has worked for my cat though and their teeth are pretty sharp.

Parrots larger than a budgerigar should be able to easily destroy anything made of plastic. The question is, would it be repulsed by the taste or not?

It will protect a lamp cord. I don't know about parrots. A dog "could" chew through it, but the odor is a deterrent. If parrots beaks are as sharp as they look, the answer is probably "yes".

Hello, It's been a while since I did the lamps but I believe the cord comes out of the bottom not the side. My lamps were all alabaster and I simply threaded the cord through the length of it and it came out at the bottom in the center. I don't think this would work if the cord came out of the side on the top and then was outside the body of the lamp. Hope that helps!

The cord is not detachable. It is 38" long counting from it coming out the PC to the prong ends that plug into the wall. I plugged it into a surge protector. I live in Florida where we are prone to lightening strikes and power outages. Just a precaution..... I love using it and Iwant to keep it for as long as I can. I am on a fixed income and strive to make things last as long as possible.

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

The openings on either end of this item are made to accommodate a round cord, like and extension cord. Hope this helps.

If you mean the part where it plugs into the wall, its small. Not grounded so the same size as a normal lamp cord would be. If you mean the end where you screw in the lightbulb, it's barely bigger than the base of the lightbulb itself is. Very small cord but works quite well.

I would say no. Especially if the cord is thick like most computer cables are. You might get the plug to fit but then you won't be able to get the cover over if the cable is big. It's ok for laptop cords, lamp cords, and I have one on my sewing machine. But if the cable/cord is even slightly bigger then it won't fit in the tiny hole at the bottom that is has too to snap the cover on.

It's a standard chord. If you have animals that chew you will have to wrap the cord.

B. Pollock, I'm sorry I'm unable to answer this question for you. I'm not sure if you are wanting to add a lamp for your bird. Perhaps an electrical person could better answer your question. I can only say, I check his perch each morning when I let my cockatiel out of his cage and again in the evening when he return's for bed. It's been very consistent in the way it distributes the heat. The end where it's attached to the cage is less warm than the tip. It did take 2-3 weeks before he was willing to try it. I now find him on it fairly frequently and always seems to be on the days when our room is cooler. I've found him on the perch as far as, say 2/3's of the way down the shaft. I was a little concerned of my purchase after having read that it'd burned or could burn a bird's feet. However, I found that a little odd, I can't imagine a bird sitting on something that was burning his/her feet. The perch is a little slippery too. I've been considering wrapping it with a hemp twine or other yarn or something similar. Sorry I couldn't answer your technical questions. I doubt this helps but, good luck on what you're wanting to achieve. Best of luck, Michelle E.

I used it to stop my cat from chewing through cords, so it should also work for a baby, but it is probably overkill for the baby. He or she should grow out of chewing on cords soon. It is not attractive but is good protection for the cords.

The lamp actually can rest on the screen lid of the aquarium, it has a handle so it could be hung. The cord is like a normal length for lamp cords.

It's a regular cord. I used a half inch diamond drill bit-- goes much faster than that spade bits. You must use water or oil to keep the bit from over- heating. I also used a half inch grommet to protect the cord from the glass hole. Good luck Tom!

The cord you inquired about is not an outdoor or protected cable. There are outdoor cables that short or try ACE Hardware for better advice. Hope this helps and you don't light up the birds. John Burnett

The cord is thick but if an animal is a "chewer", I think there would be a problem. Mine is used for my 19 yr. old cat so chewing is not an issue.

The cord is only about 6 inches long--it is meant to be used with an extension cord. The cord also has a retaining clip that keeps your extension cord from getting unplugged easily.

I do use a short extension cord. I don't have it anymore. It's not very durable. It started coming apart.

It's not a surge protector if that's what you're asking. It's a heavy-duty extension cord so it'll handle a TV and player but it won't protect your electronics in a storm or other power surge. I use mine to lengthen the reach of my power strip, which is surge protecting. I plug a lamp into it as well as the lamp doesn't require such protection.
