I don't think you can be terrible at making bird toys. Maybe they wont look at good as some other peoples but all that matters it the toy has items on it you bird likes.
I just sit every toy part I want to use next to me on the couch and go from 1 item to the next watch not to use 2 of the same colors next to each other. I use a leather string tie the bottom and just start adding. If I think one toy is to small a piece that its hiding in larger piece I'll pull the part out and add it later or just leave it out.
As long as they have a toy with there favorite items and you used all safe parts you can't really go wrong with how you make it. If you can't make it wrong you can't do it terrible. You'll be fine at it look at other toys if you want but they really are just piece put together in a way that's pleasing to us more so then the bird. I sit here thinking dose this color look good next to this color and I don't want to of the same color next to each other in truth my boy doesn't care about any of that. If I give him soft items hes happy. His favorite is bird bagels, yucca and cardboard. I was thinking next time of trying to put in some unbleached coffee filters easy for him to destroy and not to pricey plus it adds a different item.
Only other info on it I think I can give is watch for colors your bird may like or dislike. You don't have to only use the color they like but you do want to avoid colors they dislike. My boy doesn't seem picky about colors in a toy but does have his favorites for toys to carry around.
I think this is true. Buddy doesn't even care if it's a built toy. He loves the wood rings & the notched wood that Cabirdnerds carries. Alone no strings attached.
