Great page!
I also make my own 'pillow boxes' to stuff with crinkle paper and treats out of toilet paper/paper towel rolls by folding in the ends and securing with string (cotton, jute, sissal, leather, whatever I have on hand, and usually 2-3 different kinds.) All my fids have loved them once they figured out what they were. (Poking a few holes and either pulling out some of the paper bits to stick out or sticking millet in the holes the first time or two that I offer them usually has them happily destroying them within a couple of days.)

LOVEEE this idea!
What a great way to reuse egg cartons!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share. Love all the detail laid out.

Excellent post! All of those materials in those toys my birds have enjoyed tearing apart ( except egg carton, never tried).
I made 4 destructible toys today. I used popsicle sticks, empty paper roll, cupcake liners, paper bag, straws, and tissue paper.
I really need to get some finger traps, balsa wood, and vine balls. Mine LOVE those materials. They make the toy disappear like how cotton candy melts in your mouth, except with a scattered bits everywhere.
It's so important for them to have destructible toys.

Sprinting down the street
I remember making a paper box for Sky, cutting out fun-shaped holes in each side, and stuffing it with ripped-up paper towels. He was suspicious of it at first, and wouldn't play with it while I was around, but after a week all the paper towel was on the floor and the box almost cut in half! Sky was a little closet player, always tearing up his toys as soon as I was out of sight and earshot.

I have to agree on the toilet paper. It's thin and would be fun to shred, but I never used it for Sky and won't for any future birds.
Never knew about the egg cartons. Interesting. I thought birds were immune to the effects of salmonella, but I still wouldn't want to risk making my bird a carrier.

Fun ideas! Wish Chirp would destroy stuff! He only rarely chews on stuff. He's more of a lover than a fighter!
