well today i decided it was time to get creative and make some new toys.

i love the fact that i can get the perfect sized pine for only $1.45m and the birds do too. today i bought 5m. that outta last a while (i didnt use it all today)

well thats their main cage done for a bit, now tomorrow i guess i need to brighen up the playstand and play/ fresh air cage.
 
i just need to get some more supplies like beads etc.... but in the maen time tgey love bottle caps, cards, dice and basically anything else i let them chew on. i wish i had gotten a pic of oxy wgilst i was making them, he sat on his cage the entire time staring intently
 
My birds love bottle caps too. I bought a toy that was all bottle caps kinda the same idea as your wood toy .I think they used a dremmel and thread the caps through.I like mine it keeps them spaced apart enoough to get their beak at. Just an idea :)
 
another day busy making toys. this time for playstand

oxy was so hapoy when this one was finished.

I need to do the same for my flock. I love the foraging idea with bottle caps! I'll have to try that one. ;)
 
they all look so great! i wish i could make better toys:/ cooper likes them but not as much of some of his other toys. and they dont look nearly as good(that really doesnt matter, just saying)
