toys

So I wanted to post all the safety info or advice I've learned that might have slipped under some people's radar. I know it had mine. Obviously feel free to add your own. Poisonous: castor oil, anything avacado, fruit seeds like apple (arsenic) Dangerous toys or hardware type: - zinc...

My 3 y/o pearly conure has a very strange relationship with toys, when I first got him he would shred everything in site toy or not. Then after about 5 months of having him (almost exactly when he turned 1 year old), he completely lost interest in toys, at the recommendation of people on this...

I was considering getting something like this to entertain my budgies. Does anyone have any recommendations...

I originally bought this for my budgie named Elvis, but it turns out Olive loved it more. She can't get enough of it and will roll on her back playing with the chains. (There's a platform perch right below the guitar) It's very cute to watch and keeps her very entertained...

GOOK AT IT! MY HARD ORK AND A STOLEN IDEA! GOOOOOK!!! also, ignore the missing doorframe part, things got a bit quirky 🤪🤪🤪

Hello there I've looked around and decided I really want to bring home a green cheek conure as my companion. I've been shopping for toys, and what I have so far are 12 shredding toys, 2 puzzle toys, 5 different "natural" perches [naturally shaped for their feet], a sandpaper perch for their...

Daddy never gets tired of spoiling his two year old twin baby boys with new toys!

My jenday conures love chewing on papers and I really want to make them forging toys instead of just fruits and seeds wrapped in newspaper. I went to the store to buy some Easter filling for my birds but realized I don’t know what they use to dye the paper so I decided to make my own with food...

Finally got around to setting up a little play area for my favorite girl!! Gives her something to do while we’re in my room besides trying to eat my phone and my fingers 😁 I’ll expand on it more over time! Everything is attached with Velcro and reinforced with small finishing nails

So, I have some toys for my harlequin macaw, Kiwi but they aren't really big enough for her and she manages to shred them right away. Does anyone have a favourite toy company or specific toy they like? I'm aware I need to switch out the toys for enrichment purposes and I did a ton of research on...

I saw this "Bell" on one of DISCO the talking Parakeet videos, and I would like to find one. What is it called? link to video and him playing with the bell/gong is about 3:35 in the video. THANKS!! I looked on amazon and saw some that were Stainless Steel, but seemed like nothing more...

Hi everyone, me again! I’m looking for help with another question. I’ve been really struggling to find safe rope to use for toys for my new lovebirds. I came across a way to make twine out of tissue paper. Is this a safe option or is it toxic/harmful?

EDIT!!! I'm so embarrassed I forgot to put my location for easy pickup!!! I live in South Jersey within Camden County. Hi everyone! So I have a bunch of stuff that are in pretty good if not in almost new condition to just give as I don't think selling them would be ethical bc of the sizes of...

My guy is roughly two years old (maybe three, the adoption papers are contradictory) and I've had him for just over a year now. He's normally very kind and sweet but some days (like today) the screaming becomes so bad that I find myself regretting even starting the years of research I did...

Hey Maybe a silly question, but is anyone ever concerned about ordering bird toys online and the possibility that the toy you receive could have been returned after being in the cage of a sick bird before it was returned? What bird viruses or mites or whatever can live on bird toys and how do...

Hello everybody, I was looking at some new perches and toys for Cookie's cage, but I think I am becoming paranoid... So, most of the current cage accessories are inherited from my dearly missed cockatiel Pachito, but he definitely wasn't as active (destructive) as this little GCC hurricane...

Hello, I have a 5 to 6 week old baby Pineapple conure and was told to hand feed for about another week or so. My new baby doesn't have a name yet because I'm waiting to see what fits - I've only had him/her for 3 days. It took me two days to get the feeding thing down! I didn't feel...

So I've really been considering getting a parrot lately because I've moved to a new and bigger place and have always been an avid bird lover!! And I'm really stoked for this But before I dive into research and get some valuable hands-on experience with rescue birds I wanted to propose a few...

Hi Everyone! I have a 16 year old blue quaker nicknamed Syd. I am thankful to have grown up with him since he was about 3 or 4 months old (can't remember). As he has gotten older he doesn't want to play with toys. He sits all day on his perch and sleeps while fluffed up. I took him to the avian...

Hi everyone! So my partner and I have finally decided to get a caique at the end of the year! I’m very excited but I’m also starting to prepare for bringing our new feathered friend home. We’ve never kept this kind of bird before and I’m wondering what kinds of toys I should collect for new...

These definitely make the cut since they should last more than a few hours, I've had them for a week now and they're still fully intact and they are 2 feet long each. Well worth the money: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PO2VMY/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

I'm sure this subject has been kicked to death, and yes I've done some searching on the topic. But thought I'd get some direct feedback. Unfortunately, my Moluccan cockatoo, Spooky, passed away not so long ago (suspected heart failure). I've cleaned his cage and toys well and likely will have...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but have come to read as a non user for a while. I have a Senegal parrot, whom my family and I rescued over 12 years ago. We're not sure about age or gender. He can range from sweet to noisy, as it seems normal for the species. Lol. However, there are several behaviors...

I've been watching YouTube videos on ways to create foraging toys for small birds. There are a few solid ideas, but I'd love to hear what you do for your Lovies to encourage them to forage. Ideas I have so far: 1. put treats in paper cups and mash them closed. Then place in bowl where food is...

Hi, My IRN is 10 months old and since he started playing with toys (about 8 months ago) he has always 'attacked' a certain toy. They are a set of cat toy balls with bells in them that i strung on a string and hang in his cage. He lunges at them and hits them, when they swing back at him, he...

So I don't usually get excited about bird toys, I make a lot of my own because I have a huge issue spending $15-$20 on one wooden toy that they are just going to break apart in a few hours. So I usually make my own toys for them, or order them in-bulk once every couple of months from online bird...

Hi, I have an African Grey & I want to hang a couple of ropes from one wall to another so he has some new places to play and walk about up high. My question is what type of rope can I use & what thickness should it be to support him walking on it comfortably? Thanks for any help!

Hey, i have a couple questions that relate to the same thing so i'll bunch it together inside the same post. 1: I whittle, which is wood carving i also know my woods fairly well and i'm wondering if there is a safe wood glue or wood finish safe for birds i'd like to make my budgie his own...

Mushka likes to share her toys, whether I want them or not.

I am new here and this may be off-topic but I have four parrots and I'll be making them presents this year. The two budgies, Blueberry and Oliver, want a mirror (which I happen to have, so check I guess?) and the other budgie wants a sports toy. The Quaker, Spike, wants a new tent. Not the solid...

Sometimes we wonder if we got a birdie or a puppy lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8LEmmAG5zA&lc=z23oy1aofnfvvlrqr04t1aokgrdbylsbrgsmx1f53b31rk0h00410:green2:

Hello! This is the first time I've posted to any forum in a long while, but I thought it would be extremely helpful to garner some tips. I recently purchased a Peach-Faced Lovebird last Saturday that I have named Palmer. I also purchased the necessities (larger cage, toys, cuttlebone, etc.) and...

Currently doing some research so I could compile a list of needs for a gcc I was particularly confused on diet for pellets I decided on Harrison's fine but I was also looking into other dietary needs some people say seed mixes are the worst others say they should be used as treats and there's...

We recently trimmed our river birch in our yard (no pesticides for fertilizers used on the tree) and I decided it might be nice to use the trimmings to make a perch and possibly some toys. I really didn't know how I was going to put it together so I just got as many branches as I could a got rid...

I am looking for a green cheek conure. I would like to rehome an unwanted bird but I don't really mind buy from breeders. I don't mind parent reared but as a first owner I would prefer a bird that is used people. On a side note if anyone has any conure size cages or toys they don't want, I...

I am running out of toy ideas for my Conure, Rio. HELP! He does not like paper no matter the type - bags, boxes, cardboard, toilet paper - even if it has a treat in it. He isn't much on plastic parts either. He likes things made of metal he can open or take apart. - metal rings, etc. He also...

Hi all , I'm looking for good websites that sell toys for my Amazons at affordable prices preferably in the U.S , if any one of you have favorites that you'd like to recommend please feel free to do so. Also what are your favorite kinds of toys that you leave to your fids unsupervised , I have a...

I found a new behavior in my grey, Zoey. He was a rehome, a few decades old. He never had toys and doesn't know how to play with them. I've encouraged him and shown him, but he has no interest. He doesn't chew anything either. I began noticing that he would run up to a toy, say 'woo' like his...
