Homemade Bird Toys

RE: Homemade Bird Toys By Anita (Guest Post) My green cheek conure loves to play with the hard plastic caps that come on soda bottles. They are made of very durable plastic and come in a wide variety of colors. They make great foot toys that he enjoys picking up, banging, and tossing to the ground. I even hide treats in them from time to time. My husband drilled a hole through 3 different colored caps and attached them to the cage with a zip tie so that hangs. Despite all of the pricey bird toys that I have purchased for him, this is what he plays with the most. Posted on 02/13/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Bird Toys By Mollie (Guest Post) Hi! I recently made two happy huts for my two quakers and they LOVE them! They were extremely easy and I did not use a pattern. I can give you step by step instructions if you'd like.

One easy toy is wooden spoons. You can find them at a dollar store. Make a hole in the handle and hang in the cage. What kind of bird/birds do you have? I can give you all kinds of ideas. contact me at grammiecracker AT aol.com Posted on 02/12/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Bird Toys By Guest (Guest Post) Fleece. (its safest fabric for birds & wont catch toes as easily as other fabrics). Cardboard for the bottom to be sturdy. hot glue gun *use outside stainless steel or nickle plated toy hangers (zinc is TOXIC) if you don't have toy hangers use Sisal or Hemp to hang it. resoruce: birdboard.com DIY section Posted on 01/28/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Bird Toys By khilde80 (44) Contact Oh, you know what else I thought of as I looked at this picture? It looks like one of those car washing mitts. I bet you could get one of those and cut off the edges so it's accessible from both ends. I'm not sure if that would work or how frugally you could get one...but I thought I'd mention in case.

Is that picture above an example of what the Happy Hut looks like? If so, to me it looks just like one of those natural loofahs you can buy at the store. Like those round, hollow ones (not the mesh ones). I suppose you could find one of those at a dollar store or for a few dollars at Walmart. I'm not sure if that would be ok for birds...but those loofahs are natural sea sponges. Anyway, the top you could attach to the cage with carabiners (that's what they look like in the picture). That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this picture. Good luck!
