I know my cockatiels enjoy anything with popsicle sticks, leather, and beads. Even soft plastic is something much loved to be chewd! Or even those little straw hats.

A craft store is a great place to find toy items for tiels!

Cocktiel Toys

I was wondering if this is ok, I've been trying to look for some leather strips for my cockatiels like they had at the pet's mart but they didn't have anymore. I got these at Michele's (however ya wanna spell it [crafts store])
The leather is LF Tandy Leather Company.

Popsicle sticks, for sure. They also like chewing up those dried willow wreaths that you can get at places like Michael's (or maybe the dollar store - that's where I get mine). Even fresh, bird-safe tree branches. Chewing up wood seems to be the cockatiel idea of fun.

The leather is LF Tandy Leather Company.
Do not use the leather strips from Tandy!!!!! They are chemically treated and, as such, are toxic. Same with Michael's craft store. They're treated!
