I would like to share my hobby with you...
I make all the toys for my feathered friends and they seem to enjoy it a lot. Even the process of making the toys :-D

This first one is a play-feeding-station for my little ones. When I sell a baby I prefer that the new owner buys this as well, so that the chick has a part of it's old home with it.
The station contains food- and water-bowls, mirror, support for millets and honey-bars and of course toys and perches.
This one has proven perfect for the chicks when they starts eating by them selves.

Stairway to heaven!
I find that the ladders in the shops are either too small or too large for my birds, so I tested to see what they preferred, and they like a ladder where they can sit on the steps and climb further up with tiny-tiny difficulty. This way they can use the ladder in more than one manner.

Thank you! My plans are to start making toys to sell. At the moment I have only sold to those who have bought chicks, but I want to start online and the animal stores here are interested in buying. So it seems that breeding and toy-making will be my future:)
Everybody calls me "The crazy bird-lady" :-D And I don't mind... because I am :pinklol2: I love doing this.

Can I ask you something off-topic?
What is the going prices in USA for different variations of Tiels? And African Grey, and Cockatoos?
I'm just curious to how it compares to The Canary Islands...

I got three of my tiels for $120 from two different places in CA and NV. My fourth is a rehome.

I'm sorry... didn't see your answer until now. What kind of tiels do you have? It seems to be a little more expensive than here... but it depends on the type of tiel.
My grey was 50€, My Casanova (don't know yet what type) was 60€, My Lutinos was 70€, My harlequin & Albino was 180€ for the pair, My whitefaced was 50€.
Normally a Lutino is 75€ and Albino is 100€. (if they are hand fed)

I use lead-free paint. The birds love the bright colors :)
Maybe you can try using food colouring?
The colours are SO bright if you dissolve it in rubbing alcohol.
