The toy I'm attempting to show that I made and have made many of is the one in the front with the beads and the wooden pieces. She chews on the wood all the time and when she snaps the hemp twine the beads fall to the bottom of her cage. I wash the wooden pieces and reuse if she hasn't chewed thru them. The beads i toss. But her favorite toy is bell and a set of plastic bell balls. But she chews on this wood pretty good and I buy it in the art dept of wal-mart and have gotten natural wood w/o the color from the hamster section of a pet store. It's nothing fancy but it does the job!

I stick shredded paper in whiffle balls, and then a single nut inside, and the birds love foraging for that one treat! Keeps Cheyenne occupied for about 5 minutes, Oscar for 15 (it takes him longer to destroy it)

Hi,
You can get a few ideas from my Ebay Store, we are in the process of putting together a Website but it isnt ready yet. I sell the toys and parts to help rescue birds in Bad Homes.... Our newest is a plucking Cockatoo, 1 1/2 weeks so far in our home and no plucking. YEA

eBay Store - Parrot Toys and Supplies: amazon shreading toys, parakette swings, bird toy making parts

here is a double swing I made for my conure last night... I used to thick strips of fleece to string the branches and the beads and stuff.... hopefully my new nanday conure will like it. I usally make toys for sugar gliders so making toys for parrots isn't too diffrent.
