DIY quick paper foraging/shredding toy

[Dextine]

I made a toy for my lovebirds and was pretty proud of how it turned out.

For some reason my balls turned out looking more like prisms
Here is the tutorial for the braiding/folding
To thread the balls onto a chain I used a bobby pin. They're seriously handy as bird-toy-needles.

My lovies love a good paper toy so I´m sure your birds will enjoy this

Keep your eye on the chain as sometimes toes can get stuck. You could maybe try threading the paper parts onto sisal or hemp twine next time.

So many bird toys are sold with chains though?!

Correct. It is just something worth keeping an eye on.

Leather strip are best. Just rebuild your toys to be safer for your baby(s).
One of our vendors sells it. I forget which one tho.
