even though she does not dump them onto her water bowl any more. Her Chickie is her comfort toy that she carries around with her whenever she is anxious or upset. After a while, they get dirty or the plastic beak or feet break off. Then I pull out a new one from storage and rub it against her and let her sniff it afterwards. Once she accepts it, I toss out the old one when she is not looking. I've lost track of the number but I think she's on Chickie #5.
