Giant munch balls

[tielfan]

Does anyone know where I can find large munch balls (roughly 6 inch diameter)? Small ones are easily available but bigger ones made for birds are hard to find. I can find ones made for craft purposes at places like Michaels but I'm doubtful about their bird safety. My tiels have half-destroyed a toy that includes a large munch ball, and they enjoy it so much that I want to fix it.

Do you have michaels crafts? they have 'em, made in china, but it doesnt tell what kind of wood it is, so i never got any.

Yes, I've seen them at Michaels. Not only do I not know what kind of wood it is, I also can't tell whether they've put any kind of stain or finish on them. It makes me nervous so I'm holding out for something that's known to be bird-friendly.

I was just on a site that sold 6" munch balls, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

A search did turn up these sites (I can only vouch for the first one)

so i went to micheals in search of munch balls
they only had willow ones

and how int he world can i tell if it's treated or not?

the last time i looked at michaels they had a different kind, and they obviously had some kind of varnish on them, they were shiny. best to stick with the sites mentioned above.
