Best/Least Expensive Site to Order Toys?

Postby katlovesaandw on Wed Jan 03, 2007 11:18 am

I have several sites saved that have decent prices for toys. As fast as Joey goes thru toys, am wondering if anyone has a GREAT site, that carries cheap but good toys?!
I have ordered off of eBay, and I think Parrot Stuff was the other site. Plus bought at our local bird store, but prices were sooo much higher there so I try not to do that.
Thanks in advance!!
Katrina and Joey

Have you tried ConnieP's website? It's the button on top of this page, "Bird is the Word". You can also buy the parts and make the toys yourself. When I'm in a bind, and toy funds are low, I head over to the dollar store and check out the baby safe toys and rattles. If they make noise...even better.

Lots of wood toys at a great price. I get the 20 wooden toys (and Brian throws a couple extra in sometimes) for $40 plus $13 for S&H. Annie LOVES them.
And, just like Cami, I go to the dollar store and check out the baby toys too. Cheap AND noisy!!!

If you have a goffin, then you need a forest. LOL Brian does make wonderful toys. I usually get two orders of the large toys at a time for Zazu. She is my 11 year old goffin and designate buzz saw. Considering she didn't chew wood when I first got her, she is surely making up for it in the last couple of months. I love when she chews wood so I make sure she has a good supply of it.

Annie is a Goffin and I get the Medium sized toys and they last me about 9 months. I also gave a few of the toys to my daughter for her birds AND I give Pebbles (Sun Conure) some of the smaller ones. So........they really are great and last a good time.
Your bird might be more destructive than Annie but I sure couldn't imagine anybird more destructive than her!! :lol: :lol: I REALLY like Brian a lot, he's very nice when I call and talks to you like he knows who you are, ya know what I mean?
