I bought a new toy for my tiels when I attended the parrot Festival in Houston. You never know if your bird is going to like the toy, ignore it or be afraid of it.
I bought this toy which is a ring of shoe laces with little plastic 'sheaths' on it. Within a week it was completely chewed and wrecked (which means it is a HUGE HIT!) Now I wished I had bought a pile of them. I forgot who the seller was so I contacted people from the festival. So check out www.estarbird.com
I just thought I would share this with you for those of you looking for tiel friendly toys. I found like "shaeths" all over the place and the shoe laces completely frayed. This kept Button busy for hours!

That's funny BB! Dino LOVES my shoelaces so much I've been thinking of getting some and making a toy myself!

I have some colored shoelaces that I have laying around, would that be safe to use as a toy? I know someone on here posted something about organic birdtoys and wondered what the site was?

I would be careful with any plastics that the bird can chew and possibly ingest.

The site I use for bird toys and toy parts is Grey Feather http://www.greyfeathertoys.com/
