I made some toys for mango today, and oh boy is my brain fried :sour:, mega rescpect for all the vendors doing this on a daily basis, today really cemented that me becoming a bird toy maker probably isn’t going to happen:hilarious: BBB2A4F6-F50F-4782-B2E5-BF1A7D8E10AA.jpeg

I put a good music station on and get building. Usually the same station the birds are watching in the house as I keep an eye on them on camera.

It's easier when you have a pattern to follow. Randomly building whatever kinda stinks

My favorite toy is the lime green one. Everything around here is a shade of green!

I don’t understand how all the toy makers around here still have usable fingers!

@Macawnutz @Mizzely how are you guys able to stay sane after tying so gosh darn many knots? Especially paper rope- that stuff is hard to tie! Give me sutures all day, but after making 1 toy with 6 or 8 knots? No.

@MR. Mango I think your toys are beautiful!

I think those are great.:pinksmile: Don't worry about how you think they look. You do know what's going to happen to them, right? o_O It's less about appearances & more about how fun they are to destroy.

Those toys look great, but we need pictures of Mango enjoying them :yes3:
Now my toys consist of throwing their favourite materials on a SS skewer in no particular way :D

They look great! I prefer to buy Bailey's toys for that reason.

I find the tri-thread paper rope super easy to work with! Followed by veggie tanned leather lace, poly rope.
Sisal is my nemesis :lol:

Distraction mostly is how I stay sane. My hands hurt though if I've been doing it for more than 4 hours at a time!
