Favorite Cockatiel Toys

[Moshimaru]

What are your cockatiel favorite toys? Pictures of said toys would be a plus!

Mango needs some different toys for Christmas. She doesn't show much interest in many toys until months later and then interacts/destroys rhem.

My cockatiel loved when I just hung a piece if paper from his cage, he would just chew it up. But other than that I couldn’t find much others he liked. But that might just be him

I don't have photos of the beaded toys we would make, but something like the photo below. The tiels loved to snip the plastic gimp / lacing and seemed to all but laugh as the beads hit the tray. Knot them like 5 at a time, so they have more work to get the string empty of beads The hanging beads are easy toys to make and remake (over and over again), the plastic lacing is the easiest for the tiels to snip to get the beads off, but you can use the beads over and over again.

And Molly's line of toys seem to be a huge hit with the smaller guys, this falling beads from the hat has been a huge hit with personal birds and many fosters over the years!

Mentioning names, @webchirp / Chandra makes some awesome stainless steel bell toys that are the biggest hits and last literally forever I don't have a photo of the one we have, but attached is a pic of another stainless steel toy the smaller birds like - yeah the noise thing

I want to get a tiel one day so I'm curious about this topic too. I had a cockatiel in the past and he had toys but I wish I gave him more variety now. Do tiels like balsa? And the Chinese finger traps? And things like that?

Definitely and oh heck yeah The balsa needs to be the thin pieces and they like the birdie kabobs too.

My tiels love balsa, and other easy shreddables - cork, palm, mahogany slices and pods.

Mind loved sword hemp (look up sword hemp bird toy), so much so that I buried her with a bit.

Sunny really liked the finger traps stuffed with crinkle paper.

Bella loves Chinese finger traps stuffed to paper. It makes a mess but it is worth it. Bella was first afraid of and now loves this toy from the best bird toys

Bella also loves balsa wood and wicker shredders. She like to play with other things that aren't bird toys. Basically if I am doing it, she wants to help.

And Bella has almost destroyed the ones you sent her. She also likes to fling them around the room.

OMG @Jenphilly those Molly's hats! My tiels love those, and making the beads fall!

My tiels also love balsa, finger traps, vine, sea grass, piñatas, paper, and anything else their little beaks can shred apart.

 

[Birdbabe]

Flat cardboard soda can or soup can boxes are the best here,,and free from the grocery store..

 

[Mizzely]

My cockatiel customers seem to like the finger traps, balsa, seagrass, vine shapes, cane twists, palm shredders...
