They are beautiful and you should be so proud. Maybe you need to open a online parrot supply store because I can see that you put in a great effort in the craftmanship and fine detail. Wow.....I wish my wife did that but I love her nevertheless, lol. Peace Be To You. P.S I always enjoy your pictures of your birds, you take the best pics.
 
I also admire your bird room. It inspired me to make my own play gym which I like to call jungle gym, lol. I took some ideas from you and some other bird lovers from YouTube that showcase their bird rooms. I do not believe in keeping birds locked up in their cages full of toys. I actually do not put any toys in my birds cages only water dish, bath dish and food dish. That way none of my birds are cage bound or over protective of their cages. I place all the toys outside. My bird room will be complete once I get my Blue Crown sometimes come Spring. I know toys cost alot of money so what you are doing is very smart and cost effective. So good job and kudos to you, Peace.
 
Well done! Those are some of the nicest homemade toys I've seen. Now you just need your bird to tear 'em up! :)
 
Awesome... great job!
 
very nice. you put a lot of work into making those! would you mind selling them :D haha. just kiddding. let your birds tear those up!
 
great job , what is on the end of the skewers or is that the way they came, the round thing that holds everything in place.

I'm not the OP, but I'm fairly sure there is a big, acrylic ball on the end. Like here (check under medium bird toys/skewers)
Mother Pluckin' Bird Toys - Home of the ATOM

Yes, it is either and acrylic ball or a metal ball. It's actually designed to be hung as an extension with the ball on top of the cage and then a toy or whatever else would hang from the metal loop. The OP is simply using it for another purpose. The Skewers can be quite expensive too.

Oh I wouldn't have the time (and patience) for an online store. ;)

As others have said, it's an acrylic ball. These skewers I got from Expandable Habitats but those from Mother Pluckin' Bird Toys would do just as fine, in fact I have a few of their corkscrew skewers for extra "fun" :)
 
Those look very professional. I bet the birds have already gone through them :D
