Hanging toys from ceiling

I would like to hang some toys for our B&G Tico. I would like to hang them from the ceiling of our family room. I am concerned about the weight of the toys and Tico. What have you had success with? The ceiling is typical drywall and popcorn. It is also a cathedral ceiling, which means I can't go in the attic to find beams.

Thanks for any comments

Thanks for answering both my post.

So all you use is a typical drywall hook? I was worried about it pulling out. I'll give it a try.

You should probably also look into a ceiling guard as I doubt the popcorn stuff is very safe...
