Glue for toys?

[patchyjoon]

My next idea is to make a ramen noodle bowl... but we'll see how it works out. I'd be using a toy I already have, and just remove the parts already inside it.

Got it. I'll update you once I get the dyes how it goes tying them. I wouldn't keep my hopes up though, my toys will probably be ugly compared to your literal pieces of art!!!

Don't sell yourself short

So this is my current design. I cut balsa into this shape and I'm waiting for my dyes to come in.

Last months squawk box we got japan themed toys. Instead of putting it into his cage directly I want to work on making a full set of toys for him with that theme.

My first idea is to make a "bamboo forest" with balsa. They would be varying sizes (so varying amount of rectangles tall) at first I thought I would glue them together and then add a screw on the back that I could then mount to the side of the cage. Now what I'm thinking is to skewer them like on a fruit skewer.. but I'm a little bit at a loss on how to attach the straw heart on the top to make it look more bamboo-y. What do you guys think?

Also yes the reference here was definetly the minecraft bamboo. Lol.

This is such a cute idea. My mind went to a sola version that would be pretty low effort if assembled on a skewer.
I haven't made bird toys in forever, I love seeing how creative people get with it.

Thank you! I'm trying to get into doing more things with my hands, I feel it really helps with my mental health! We'll see how it turns out but this is definetly something that's super fun, and the reaction my bird makes is literally the best thing anyone could ask for. He gets really curious and makes his neck long like he's super surprised and then running around whenever I put some stuff together. Thus far I've been repairing old toys but this will be my first own toy. So we'll see how it goes.

I used to mostly only make toys for my budgies. I had a tight budget most of the time.
Now I'm at a point I just need toys that last them more than a few hours So after using mostly natural enrichment for a fair while, we're awaiting a decent sized toy order this week. I'll need to bulk buy some favourite toy parts before long I feel

I'll be following along because maybe it'll spark a bit of inspiration for me to get back to this sort of stuff
