small birds are great.

I made a toy for Fatty. Having a teeny tiny budgie is fun, opens up a crazy small world of what is bird safe that absolutely would not be with a stronger beak or more aggressive play style.

Rexlace and pony bead lizard(don't worry, it's all bird safe stuff!). Got enough supplies to make about a bajillion teeny budgie toys. Even old-bones Alex is too aggressive of a chewer for these. That's ok, though. This was a big critter order, and more boxes of goodies are expected in the coming days.

Okay, I'm in love with Fatty Dingdong the Rude...

So may I ask: how did he get his name(s)?

I don't THINK anybody has asked that yet.

I used to make those all the time as a kid! Lots of animals and other things are possible using pony beads and that plasticy cord (can't think of what it's called).

I bet that would be a fun toy for a smaller parrot! Wonder if a larger parrot friendly version could be made from larger wood beads and sisal rope? I may give that a try. I bought 10lbs of random wood beads for birds a few years ago and still am getting through them (Kiwi isn't a big chewer so I keep re-using them lol).

As long as the rope and wood is Parrot safe then the sky is the limit. I really wanna make a bead parrot now lol but i wont incase it promotes bird violence lol. Id love too see pics of the lizard maybe ill make a unicorn lol x

Hehehehe got another package just now. Fatty won't even wait for me to unwrap the goodies, let alone make them into toys.

Lol I'll tell the story of Fatty's name in a little bit, right now I need to make bird toys before Fatty curses me with Birdmagic, which is totally a thing (ever "accidentally" drop something, forget something, break something, or hurt yourself after telling a bird "no"? Yeah, 'Twern't no accident. Birdmagic.)
