Yeah! What the heck was I thinking? I know that. Sorry Kenzie, I get brain fog & not using my Cpap makes it really bad. I just went 3 weeks (almost) w/ out because I've had a respiratory virus that knocked me down. I'll get you photos of Shawna's box, I didn't forget just been really ill w/ another issue. Can't even pick the box up because of how bad I feel. I just didnt want you to think I forgot. I like tge idea Sarah has about the 30-60-90 days. I haven't had time to build a dang thing. If it goes much longer Buddy's going to walk down my street petitioning for a new owner who has new toys! :ohdrama::lol:
I hope you start to feel better soon! :smileflower:

It’s a terrible season for many people it seems.

I have sky high hopes for that big one! It may take a while to get it accepted and installed, but I love it already! I think it's bigger than the one I found on your website, @Mizzely. Did you make it that big for Monaco?

I have been trying to get Monaco interested in toys and foraging, so I'm not doing monthly boxes.... Yet! But, each of the vendors I've ordered from has been great listening to my descriptions and helping me choose things. I don't think I'll need to shop anywhere else very often. Following the diy section is very helpful too. AA is the best place. I swear if we could get vet care here it would literally be a one stop shop shy of a grocery store!

Thank you for the myriad textures and the foraging perch, @Mizzely, I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes that one is custom made for Monaco! I think I put every texture I own in your box to see what she goes for! Then once we know what she might like we can expand from there :D

I also did half with dyes and half without since you said she likes colors but you prefer natural ;)
It tickles me that you went to the trouble of making us both happy! You did a great job! I figure except for her diet, my preferences no longer have much weight. I'm glad to be more than a tool of transportation!

Ok so I finally got pics of my lil monsters stuff. I believe the stuff on the left & the yellow, teal hangy were from my Bingo box. The 2 valentines items (Papa bear & the heart hangy) were paid seperately.

You can see Buddy's haul here.

Hey there! Congrats on the new job—exciting times!
It sounds like you're ready to spoil your flock, and I love that you're looking into toy subscription boxes for them. I don’t have one myself, but I’ve heard some great things about a few options.
1. Squawk Box: This is one of the more popular choices. They offer different sizes based on the type of birds you have, and Frankie will appreciate their “Large Bird Box” since it's packed with toys that could last a little longer for her. Plus, they mix in treats and foraging options which your smaller guys, Sam and Poncho, might enjoy too.
2. Feathered Fun Box: This one’s a solid option if you want a variety—it's kind of like a birdie surprise box every month. They cater to different bird sizes, so you could customize based on Frankie’s needs and still have toys for the others.
3. Polly’s Box: This is a bit more budget-friendly and has a great variety for small and medium birds. I’d say it’s better for Sam and Poncho, but you can always throw in something extra for Frankie if you choose to go with this.
I’d suggest reading a few reviews, especially on social media, since people are pretty honest about how long the toys last (especially for birds like Frankie, who have destruction down to an art ).
It’s definitely worth trying a box or two, especially if you’re working longer hours. It’ll keep your flock entertained while you're out, and you won’t need to worry about constantly restocking.
Let me know if you give one a try!
