Well, one no longer exists :roflmao: The one will the willow balls on it suffered a violent demise. The other is hanging on shockingly! It’s definitely missing a few blocks now. The impenetrable block so far has suffered the least amount of damage.

Yep, that's what my birds do to them. Money well spent.

Uh, no. Sarah handpicks all her lumber, sands everything, and dyes them meticulously. Unless Xoetix is going to buy alcohol, dye, a miter saw, a drill press, and a sander, she's better off buying from Sarah.

I of course wasn't downplaying any of Sarah's work or effort, and am well aware of the process of toy making ;) I also buy Sarah's toys! But I also grab cheap boards from Home Depot and throw them in the cage to supplement to extend my toy budget :) I didn't expand on my suggestion, so that's my bad.

Y’all aren’t gonna believe this.

This was done in TWO HOURS.

I’ve mentioned elsewhere that I put the birds up for a couple hours in the afternoon for a “nap time” - that way I can get stuff done without pulling them from the middle of it.

Apparently Isadora didn’t want a nap time.

I think Q needs some of Sarah's toys at some point to help him find his inner beaver, he's such a softy! Especially when compared to Isadora!

Oh my... 















Save the hardware. You can even attach phone books to the side with them.






Wise words indeed. Everytime Tobias would destroy a side mount toy I'd save everything for future use and it definitely came in handy.

Good call! I never thought about a phone book for shredding

My Hy destroyed a basswood platform perch in MINUTES. No lie. Sarah laughed her butt off! Needless to say, I won't be buying one of those again.
