So, I've been itching to make one of those lovely 'busy boards' I keep seeing but I didn't have a 'board' or large piece of wood. So I improvised and made four mini ones that I strung together. I hope this is fun enough for him. I'm following Kiwibird's advice and making (what I hope is) extra fun toys to keep him busy and entertained when I go out of town for business :)

The pic is sideways becaue I couldn't fit the whole thing in, in an 'upright' shot. :rolleyes:

Very cool! Nice job!
 
This is very creative! I think your bird (s) will love it too... I still have a while to go b4 my baby comes home but when she does, im making her one of these. Thanks for the post!
 
This is a great toy for those birds who need to chew every day! Well done, Michelle! I'm going to have to make something similar for my Beaks, as they are in dire need of more chewy toys!

What I like about this one is that it has lots of different textures to try, from hard wood, through squishy cork to straw and paper. I hope Percy doesn't chomp his way through it too quickly: it's almost too pretty to let him do that! LOL! :)
 
Percy is going to be a very busy bird!
 
That's awesome! I bet Ekko and Xander would love that:)
Percy is such a spoiled boy:)
 
Love it!!! I've never seen a busy board, I'll have to google
 
What an awesome idea Michelle. I think I may have to 'borrow' this idea. I am going to give it a try on the weekend.

Glad you like it :)

I made the holes to stuff the corks in, with a paddle drillbit and the rest of the goodies are attached in normal holes drilled through the wood blocks.
