Parrot toys, make parrot toys yourself, with parrot safe parrot toy parts

It's very easy to make simple toys yourself. On this page I will add parrot toy projects from time to time.
Please always supervise your bird with these homemade toys and DO NOT use poisonous parts.
The toys illustrated on the site are meant for larger parrots. They might not be appropriate for all birds. Before you make any toy for your bird make sure that the construction and materials are safe for that species of bird.
If you have questions about where I purchased these toy parts or if you have a toy project that you want to share with other people, please go to the

'Cages, gyms, aviaries, toys and more!' forum.

Also string some beads on it, to make it more cheerful.. Do the same for the other three leather laces.. Knot them to each other and you'll have a swing. You can make the swing more attractive by attaching wood shapes to the spare ends of leather lace. (close to the ring)
