Sooooo, I got a LARGE block of whatever the heck Chew Kebabs (aka the one and only commercially sold toy budgies can, and more importantly, are willing to shred). Now, where did I get this, you ask? Well, I went to a super-small petshop in the middle of nowhere, and found this beauty. It’s made by Greenfeather Bird Supply LLC, women-owned. It’s called the Jumbo Peg Block, and was 17 USD.

Unfortunately, you do have to sign up to order from them, but I think it’s worth it if the birds love this toy as much as I think they're going to. I put a hole in the other end too, so they could shred it more easily.

Point is, I like it. It’s a big toy for little birds, something I could never DREAM of finding before. Especially one for budgies, with their weak bite strength.
 
Holy cow! Is it balsa wood?

It will (probably) take a long time for them to devour/shred that.

I have found boxes of balsa online but Jasper does ok with washed and baked sticks and perches from outdoors. Willow would not see the point of a block of wood.

Budgie party!

I think it’s softer than balsa. People say you could make a doll house with balsa, but if you did it with this, it would break quite easily! I’m going to a week-long sleep away camp tomorrow, so this is a treat for them. They got so upset the last time I went away :(

I’ll post after results for sure!
