Okayish, they don't seem to have a strong preference for colored vs non colored, but I am sure they disliked that weird orange, that went basically untouched:lol: I was still getting used to my saw table and cut most of that wood a bit too thick, used most to drill holes and then stuff treats in it. If I do that, no matter what it is it gets demolished sooner or later:D
The square blocks were a succes though!
Haha stuff it with treats and anything a winner I am still waiting for band saw to come but that will be hubby job because I will 100% lose a finger if I am lucky and not my hand

Ohh that's a beautiful toy!! Glad they liked the previous ones :D it's great when they love their toys but man the upkeep sometimes to keep them occupied:facepalm:

I think with rubbing alcohol, but don't remember exactly. My memory is terrible. I used a 'how to do it' post from Jan from blusbirdtoys, but obviously I had a different brand paint so possibly that played into it. Or I just did it wrong:embarassed:
It’s so hard most of my haul gone they go through tots like water

Tariffs on incoming packages to the US have a lot of countries not allowing packages being sent to the US until clarifications are made about rates and/or collection and remittance instructions are made. Outgoing from our end is totally unaffected.

Ahww they get straight to work don't they. Love seeing the two of them together, so beautiful!

I tried to be smart once and saw a really big coconut with my table saw to save effort. I thought I'd loose my hand for a second:rofl:

They are beautiful together they are so funny together too Blu asked posie for a kiss all time and she touches his beak and makes kiss noise then she kind of says dance it’s not cleasredt though and he knows what she on about so they dance bobbing heads ticking p
If he’s on a different perch he says come on and she comes to him then says come on
Although she’s got a very feminine voice scared crap out of me sounded like a little two year old girl chatting away other day

Oh my word you are brave did you manage to do it though even drilling holes in wood scares me my neighbor was laughing at me

:faint: That is SO cute!!!!! They are so smart! It's so amazing they communicate like that using human language, wow. I can totally imagine she scared you:embarassed: When they suddenly sound very human like it still startles me. Must be very cute though when you know its her. Does she sound like you or more like her previous owner?

Yes I did with another saw! Made 2 toy baskets out of it. Once you get used to sawing and drilling wood it probably gets less scary:laugh: I didn't like sawing at first either, my dad told me as a kid that that one time when they got a new tool at the workplace, they made them watch an educational video where someone accidentally sawed his arm off. I was like what?!? That stuck with me for a while:eek:

She sounds like me but I think she’s got it off blu because she didn’t talk when she came here at all or know any tricks she gives me kisses all time she so soft I get kisses when she wants walnuts :rofl:
Blu actually talks less now he has posie but I don’t mind it’s so lovely to see him have her and how they interact it amazes me how in tuned they are with one and other

oh wow that’s brilliant I might have to steal that idea I do have coconuts from nuts but they love foot toys and different texture be brilliant
Someone has a very nice cage lucky bird

:lol:
I think that’s where my fear comes from we did wood work at high school we were using band saws and my best friend said look Emma I turned around to see her finger cut clean below knuckle hanging to side by piece of skin blood shooting at on top then she fainted I had to go to hospital with her in ambulance until her mum got there she has a lovely scar me and her ever did wood work again

Jeeeeeez that is one very scary experience!!! So glad she got her finger reattached. Makes me feel unwell even thinking about it. Wow, really awful that happened that's like the worst kind of accidents I imagine can happen.

Ahw yeah they sound so sweet. Posie does so well with you! Interesting that Blu talks less, I have heard about it before with Grey's who were housed with other Grey's after being a single Grey. I don't think any talking ability can equal how happy it must make you to see them together! I love seeing pictures of them, so wonderful.

No, I learned my lesson :facepalm: I was normally so careful but I guess my stupidity got the better of me.
