Neat Jan, but JaKhu would have it destroyed in a day.

@Jan....JaKhu loves her metal toys. We have them in the aviary. So far no destruction to those, but she's working her way thru a boing, an orb & a Tiki rope. She also destroyed two 3 inch heavy duty dog rubber balls, a heavy rubber pacifier for dogs, a heavy bamboo toy & coconut toys. A few days ago she snapped a heavy Marbella bead in half. UGHHHH this bird!! So far your metal toys are the only ones she hasn't been able to destroy.

Yes, I agree ... Macaws would destroy the ball. I do not recommend them for large bird chewers unless you don't mind that the ball get chewed.

A 10" he'd be able to go in, but would not be as roomy as the 14".

(Not intended for large Macaws or large Cockatoos.) o_O


Now I want to see one that is. "Hay," don't they make Jolly Balls for horses? Those'd be the right size! :rofl:

Yes, they do make them for horses but they are more bouncy so it a different type of plastic stuff. I have to cut out the 5 holes in the 14" size balls, it's an extra task I have to do that back years ago, they cut the holes,,, no longer. Even when I was last selling the 14", I had to cut out the 5 holes.

I am going to update on the Jolly Ball scene. They have been on the site for a while, I have the 14" balls with the holes in them now. All 12 of the 14" balls each one having 5 holes each that was a total of 40 holes I had to cut out. This process is quite consuming but it is all done and ready for toys and hardware.

I also just a few days ago order the 8" jolly ball, in blue only that will be for the bird sizes of Parakeets, Love Birds, Parrotlets and a like size birds. The 8" will come in near the tail end of this coming week. So I will have 3 ball sizes to choose from which is the 8", 10" & 14". I also have replacement toys for the Jolly Balls. I am not selling the ball alone, it will come with toys and the stainless tri-chain hardware. I am selling the tri-chain separately should anyone want that for an existing jolly ball or other application use.

This is the 3 ball sizes to show a size difference between the 3 sizes I have.

No naked Jolly Ball for sale on the site. The 8" size is due in Friday and like the others, sold only with toys and hardware.

You know, I am going to add this ... the 6", 8" & 10" jolly balls, you can order the ball itself on other sites for anywhere from $16. to $25 or so like on Amazon and other website. That's not where I order mine from at all. It is called the Teaser Ball, it has the green ball inside the outer ball and is meant for a dog toy. All you have to do is take out the green ball inside the jolly ball.

So you think the balls I sell with toys/hardware are expensive ... perhaps but you have to realize I have to make the toys which have a lot of toy parts on them and the tri-chain hardware is stainless steel. It is time consuming to make up the toys and I do have to make a little for my time & toy parts. So you are paying more so for the toys & hardware than the ball.

For the 14" ball ... you will NOT find ANY out on another website with the hole openings in the ball, none, zilch, nada only on my site will you find the 14" with holes. Now, doing the holes is time consuming and kills my back doing it. So I have to do extra work for the 14" ball size that I do not have to do for any of the other ball sizes.

I am sure as all get out that the Jolly Balls on my site will not sell as quickly as if it was the ball only but I am not what you call solely a buyer/seller of items. All my toys on my site have to be made and that requires labor to do so. I get the same thing where my stainless toys are concerned, I get some people out there stating how expensive the toys are and always want a discount ... ok, well then go make your own!
