Home Made Bird Toy Sudgestions?
does any one have any good sugestions for simmple bird toys that can be made at home or any thing that can be used as a bird toy. i was just wondering because i have 3 budgie birds and two cockatiels and wanted to make them some toys because they dont seem that intrested in the toys i bought them. Also i was wondering if paper and news paper are toxic to birds because i have read on the computer some sugesions for bird toys and some of the bird toys were made of paper, but i just wanted to make sure that the paper or news paper is not going to harm my birdys.
Thank you 
also i was thinking are lanyard ( hope i spelled that right) strings toxic to birds because l like to make lanyards and was thinking i could use them as bird toys, would that be a good idea?
One last question, are toilet papere rolls toxic for birds?
could really tell you the best toys, but I can tell you with toys that are cheap, easy to make, and what my birds (Cockatiels) love!
1. Hair bands.
They love to run it through their beaks and chew on it. They also love to use it as a necklace and to pick it up with their feet. It is a good toy and you can get about a dozen of them for fifty cents. And it is safe! My birds love to pick them up and throw them around.
2. Paper
My birds love to shred paper! They could do it for hours at a time, and still enjoy it! That is what I am looking forward to this Christmas is letting my tiels open their own presents. I think they will like that better than their present. And you can buy two hundred sheets for a dollar, and they love it! Plus it is very safe, cheap, and fun.
3. Fake Plants
I know, sounds weird. But whenever my grandmother buys fake (only fake) plants and brings them home, they love to chew off the little flowers and stems! They love to shred those and tear it apart. This may be a little bit expensive, but it lasts longer. And it is perfectly safe! They don't try to chew it, they like to run it through their beaks. Plus you can use this to forage for them. Sprinkle their food in, and you can watch them find it.
4. Rawhide Bones
Okay, don't get me wrong, this sounds really weird! But it is actually very good for them! My birds (cockatiels, parakeets) love to chew on my dog's bones, and they can't get enough of it! It is a cheap way to occupy them and wear their beak down, plus they love to play with it! And you can use it as a perch, too. This is one of my birds favorite treats! Especially those Dingo bones, they like to pick out the meat inside of it.
Yes, toilet paper rolls are. They have toxic cglue in them that will kill your bird!
