DIY toys, bits, and bobs.

Postby billibird on Sat Oct 17, 2009 3:08 am

Does anyone make toys for their bird and if so what and how?
I've heard you can drill holes in bamboo and put seeds inside. I was avoiding doing uni work today and tried to make a bird bed (the photos attached). Does it look safe? And do you think it would be alright to leave it in the cage all the time or just as a play bed. obviously it wont be hanging from a coat-hanger. I've also hears some birds like colorful things and some don't so will see. I've heard you can fill boxes with strips of paper as well and they will forage through it? If anyone makes any cool toys can you please posts some pics!

Cheers, Billie

    Hello, I don't make toys for my parrot as I think that it is cheaper to buy them. However, if you google www.myparrotshop.com they have toys to buy and also toy parts and hardware. I hope this is of some help

    Billie, check out this site.

    www.parrotenrichment.com

    Lots of ideas there.

    Why did you make a bed for your bird?

    I saw similar things for sale. I thought it would make a good play area. I can put things in and he can throw them out. I also wanted to sew something but it is a bit silly
