Now that i have TONS of toys for Butter, i thought i should help out some other birds in the world! :)
I decided to do something about the birds at the zoo who don't have any toys!
(i'm honestly surprised some of them haven't plucked themselves bald.)

Plus, i promised the cashier (who i asked about donating toys) that i'd bring a bucket of bird toys for them. ;)
Soooo... :p

5 cereal boxes stuffed with paper and wood, and a toy made with half a coconut shell and lots of wood for the 3 macaws and cockatoo (There might be 2 cockatoos? Not sure lol).
Some foraging toys made of coconut pieces and bits of wood for the crows..
A swing and toys with bells/colorful beads for their bali mynah! :D

Pictures of all these awesome toys that fill up a bucket, as promised!

The motherload...

(to be fair, i haven't got a clue what crows do for fun so i just threw together a few foraging toys..)

Such a wonderful idea! That is a shame they have no toys, the zoos around here have lots of toys for the birds. I might write a strongly worded letter to them, with some toy suggestions. I would print this activity manual out, and give it to them. Such wonderful, cheap ideas just like what you did for them.
