recommend your favorite toy stores to buy from

[anuska]

Hi all , I'm looking for good websites that sell toys for my Amazons at affordable prices preferably in the U.S , if any one of you have favorites that you'd like to recommend please feel free to do so. Also what are your favorite kinds of toys that you leave to your fids unsupervised , I have a paranoia of accidents happening while I'm not at home with them and have had experienced some accidents in the past which only makes me more skeptic in the types of toys I trust to leave with them when I'm not around. I know all toys pose some risk but I would like some recommendations of toys that you all think are least harmful and ones that you leave to your fids when you're at work. Also do share favorite toys of your fids , I seem to have trouble finding any that my fids love , they have already refused to even go near the swings, or foraging toys , even the stimulative toys like those mobile phones that talk , they only seem to like colourful plastic toy links so if you all have any ideas please do share , thanks

The AA vendors have some wonderful toys. Check them out: List of Vendors and AA Store Profiles | Avian Avenue Parrot Forum However, I notice that you are in Trinidad so you will have to see if they would ship there and how much shipping would be.
Have you tried colorful wood toys?

Our vendors here on AA have plenty of great toys.

ABirdToy also has great toys, I've ordered from them a few times and am always satisfied with their products.

Personally I love filling kabobs with toy parts. Toy parts are great because the there lot of variety, they're cost effective and there is lots of stores that sell them. I think they really safe too. The only non safe thing is you gotta be careful with toy parts callec bagels. You need to pick the right size with them so you bird's head can't get stuck in them.

I know the store I like is in Canada- but shipping is an amazing price for that distance, and I am unable to find anything like their stuff. Plus they are a vendor here on AA.
I definitely recommend @parrothotel /shop

Amazons????

Avian Stainless
This is on one zons cage....he rings the bell for attention. Doris worked with me because I was paranoid about safety and answered tons of questions.

I have skewers with wood chunks. Secret loves the wafers from mother pluckin Bird toys (they're a softer wood or something, haven't figured it out).

Tweetie Bird Toys is running a sale now. I've bought from her before she opened this store.
To be continued.....

I get all my toy parts from Thing for Wings ...she is in Canada ..she is also a vendor on AA ...and she happens to have great toys

 

[alcmene]

Tweety bird toys, avian stainless, and mother pluckin bird toys are my favorites

 

[Mizzely]

In addition to the ones mentioned, I really like Byrd Bell, My Safe Bird Store, Drs Foster & Smith, and Mother Pluckin' Bird Toys. I looove the spiral skewers and soft wood from MPBT for avid wood chewers For noisy toys, Avian Stainless is my go-to

Avian antics has wood that MC likes on his skewers. Oliver's Garden has beautiful toys that I buy and have to pry out of my own hands. Still hoarding a Jimmy Halfa lobster, he's gorgeous. We do have fantastic vendors here.

Any toy/perch can be dangerous. Seriously. You just need to monitor them daily (or more often!). You will learn to do it quickly. The links that hold the toys can come unscrewed. I personally prefer no chains (other than avian stainless) in my cages but that's me. Generally leather strips (and they have to be safely done, think vegetable) or skewers to put toys on.

Check rope perches and trim loose strings.

We have a thread that talks about dangerous toys also....Check that out.

Nothing more to add other than you have received excellent advice.

If they seem to like plastic, you could try getting different plastic parts and string them on leather cord or stainless steel skewers. The stores mentioned above are all great! California Bird Nerds (CABN) has lots of toy parts too.
Have you tried the foraging toys with clear plastic (so they can see the treat, for motivation )? Those are the only kind Charlie will play with.
The amazons at the rescue where all volunteer all love chewing up cardboard. You can cut strips and put them onto skewers for an easy DIY toy.
