If you do make a blog, I want to follow. It would be the only blog I would actually check regularly.

I couldn't resist making some when I got home last night. I put treats in the bottom, instead of the cork. Aleta can't figure out how to get the treats yet, but she enjoyed throwing them around.

That is a great idea! I just tried it with coffee filters. I didn't have a cork so I just crumbled up a few filters for the center. Plus side to that was that I was able to work the base into the cage bars so it is hanging on the cage wall. The Fids are in love with it .

Hanging would be fun! I put a little one in the "toy box" in the bottom of the cage. I bet she would like it more if it were hung up though! Not to mention decorative

Fantastic idea! A craft book is a great idea! If you ever put one together, please let us know!

Momtopercy I loved your flower idea so much! I used coffee filters that I dyed different colors. Some of them I used nuts and some other materials.
I made a larger toy with them by taking a 12 inch piece of pvc pipe and drilling holes in the top, middle, and bottom. I then added four flowers to the top, bottom, and middle. It covers the whole pvc pipe and because each one has a different surprise, it will keep the bird interested in its destruction. It is such a beautiful toy, but I don't expect that it will last very long.

So its a little later but here is a picture of one I made with coffee filters that I dyed. My cat loves them too lol
I still have to finish the flower stick. Thanks again for this great idea!! It has led to so many other ideas.

LOL! Glad your cat likes it too! . My little pug has also stolen one and caused a big mess with his own shredding activities

What an awesome idea!!! I was wondering can you use used wrapping gift paper or tissue paper? I'm new to making toys and I don't want to use something that might make the birds sick.
