Are these for the Macaws or all of the birds? My Amazons love the Kingpin and Plain Jane. My 'too enjoys the Spring Posey. Any of the lobstas are wonderful. In fact everything is wonderful!

Hmmmmm...I wonder how long the Floats would last with my Buzzsaws?

Wanna race? You will get a head start as the hys are chickens for two weeks..;)

Hmmmmm...I wonder how long the Floats would last with my Buzzsaws? They are tiny pink termites and would put the big Macaws to shame!:) I had the Kingpin and I think he lasted a day. Susan made them the cutest Froggie and I have nothing left but a small piece of his face! They get 2"x4" chunks weekly on their skewers...how can a 300 gram bird go through that much wood that fast????
Well this is the "this toy in action" picture:

Looks pretty big to me! But your little buzz saws are something else...

My work flock is a whole different budget. ;) My SWS shopping is my home flock, which does include Binky but he chews like a macaw.

I wasn't going to get anything this time around because I'm broke but I think I might have to get those pink termites some toys!:wideyed: They aren't afraid of anything except me and Leo will let me pet his feet if I go slow and he's in a good mood! Letti hates my guts though.

Look out Susan! I'm going to order Bertha, Ruby, and a Triple Float!:) Unlike Danita, I tell you exactly what I'm going to get! Danita is probably going to kill me with Mother Lode orders...:faint:

I'd love to get a Kraken but that will have to wait until we have a place to hang it...eg an actual bird room!:)

You have an Amazon who isn't a total perch potato? None of mine even know what chewing is...Well, Abs will chew on thin stuff if you carry her to it!;) She is in love with all things SS and hangs upside down to beat up her Avian Stainless toys!;)

Not trying to highjack the thread but I have my little guy who is now buzzing through balsa & cork like there's no tomorrow. He's breaking the SMALL plastic bird toy links for fun as of this weekend. He's not been really good at thick wood but LOVES to destroy things... any ideas for him? OG toys are SOOO cute

OG has really cute toys for the littles too. I have Linnies and bought several toys from Susan for them. One that sticks out in my mind is the cute little Anchor with plastic pacifiers on it and the baby fish one and you can't live without the fish ladder!

I like U Crabby but am concerned the rope attaching it at the top might be a weak point.
I guess they would not have as much access to that small location so it would probably stay together til it was chewed up.

Like the lobsters too as they are cute.

He's not tiny, he's more built like a Ringneck but a bit smaller.

OG suggestions: Chunky Monkey, Tommy Cod, Trigger is fun although wonder if the plastic rings will be too small for him.

My red-bellied Scully is a Master of Destruction and has taken down Fledgling, Chunky Monkey, Rainbow Trout and Tommy Cod. I think Tommy lasted the longest and he still has a small piece of that one.
