So I just joined here, it'll take me a bit to get used to this. My birds need new toys, yet we get paid next Friday. I thought about DIY-ing some toys for them, but we are limited to paper and cardboard. For strings, we only have yarn, which I read wasn't safe for birds. Any ideas?

Hello! Is this cage setup okay for a young GCC? I'm getting my birb this weekend and I would like some reassurance/feedback on my setup for his cage! This is not the only area with toys (I have a whole other play area set up), so this is not going to be the only toys he gets. Would this setup be...

Hey guys! Nervous new bird parent here (going to get my baby this weekend!), and I'm hoping to get some feedback on my cage setup! I can't tell if this is okay amount of toys, not enough toys, or too much toys (overstimulating)... I also have a whole play area prepared, so this wouldn't be the...

This may seem a little silly but I just bought 2 new toys for my 2 budgies. (A natural hammock and a foraging toy) I've only had my budgies for 3 weeks and they are very trusting and can step up and leave the cage. I took them out of the cage so I could put their toys in. They saw me putting in...

Hello all! Haven’t commented on here in a while but I find myself in need of some advice. I already am aware of the trusted sites to buy bird toys from on here and have checked them out, but certain sellers on Etsy have great deals on perch bundles that are a tiny bit cheaper. I was just...

I have question for more experienced owner. So my conure has not been interested in many toys. Been trying to find things he likes since i adopted him. However, today while i bought a small lego set my bird instantly loved them and wanted to chew the peices. One block he took a munch out of and...

Hello! I want to buy my budgies some nice new toys, and just wanted to know what brands I should consider and those I should avoid. I‘m iffy about buying things on Amazon, for fear of them being made out of low-quality material that could poison my birds. (Even plain wooden ones like these. I...

Hi everybody! My cockatiel’s favorite toy is this one I will have pictured. He only chews the cork part! Is there any bird safe cork board that I can use to recreate that? He goes through them insanely fast! I don’t want to buy cork board that has dangerous adhesive. Thanks in advance! :)

Unfortunately, money has been really tight lately. My birds shredded their current toys and I ran out of toys to rotate thru. I’m in need for diy toy ideas that I can make using things you’d find in a house. I crochet so I have a ton of yarn and buttons. Anyone know what i can make with that...

Hi All, I have read online that pinecones are a great toy for parrots to chew on and forage out of once properly cleaned. I have tons of sugar pine cones in my area and I am curious if these should also be safe? I don’t really see why they wouldn’t be okay, but I am always paranoid about...

Good afternoon, does anyone know of a website where I can buy safe perches for an umbrella cockatoo. Thank you

Good afternoon my bird was diagnosed with heavy metal toxicity (copper). Can anyone recommend me where I can buy metal free toys. I am not sure what could have cause this. I have bought some rope perches from Amazon and some foraging toys also. Thank you

Hello! I was wondering whether anybody has any recommendations for some toys for a lovebird? Seeing that my bird, Mango has been looking quite bored lately I was wondering whether there are any toys out there that could help entertain such a small bird like her? I've got some ladders and a few...

Can anyone please tell me where to buy a good play gym for cockatiels, I don’t trust Amazon and I’m from Saudi Arabia and don’t know where to buy from and Etsy is over the top expensive , help me!!!

Hso I've had some wicker balls for my conure and he loves to destroy them. But that means I have to replace them quite often, and it can get kind of expensive. So I've been thinking about trying to make some myself, and I have some willow I'm gonna use, but I have some experience making things...

Wondering what to get my linnie for Christmas already….. any ideas?

No plastics please or artificial dyes. My bird loves those little balls that are destructible and paper strings. Also does anyone know any safe bells? She loves them but the ones I bought felt sharp and I wasn’t sure if there was any lead or dangerous chemicals. Hanging bells are ok but she...
