One really simple toy that my budgies absolutely love is just the mini easter basket. You can find them at my safe bird store. While it is just one toy part, my birds are very beginner level when it comes to foraging, so this is challenging and mentally stimulating for them. I just hang the basket by its handle on a perch and put some treats in there. My birds get really excited to find the treats, and have to figure out how to balance on the basket/hang upside down from the perch to get to the treats. It's adorable when they sit on the edge of the basket! For more advanced foragers, you could put some crinkle paper or other toy parts on top of the treats too.
I also make DIY toys for my birds by recycling old toy parts and buying toy parts. My cockatiels love those vine stars and lanterns! I didn’t think to put treats inside the lantern but that’s a good idea. Also I’m not sure if they sell them in the UK but the brand Vitakraft makes mini popcorn cobs for birds. I pop them and gives them to my birds as foraging toys. They like picking all the corn off the cob. I also just ordered a toy from Bonka Bird that includes a red striped box like that and it has “candy” in it. I figured it would be a good box to recycle so when they finish the candy I was going to put some yellow strips of paper in to make it look like French fries but I like your popcorn idea too. My birds enjoy the mini cobs so as long as they aren’t afraid of the box I’m sure they’d like it.
I need to ask how to search for this colorful paper? I have yet to find it online. :D And there's a typo in your description, it reads "My webiste". :D
i think you were saying "sweet bag" but i was hearing "tweet bag" at first (like treat but for birds so tweet) and thought was a very cute name for it 😂
the greatest thing ever bought my birds is paper straws as soon as i saw papers straws at the dollar tree i decided to give it a try and my cockatiels went crazy with them i have never seen them destroy something so fast.
Weird question, but I found some seashells that I collected and I’m wondering if I clean them properly if it would be safe for a Conure to play with and chew on
I can't wait for this one! I love all your DIY vlogs they are the best! your defiantly imaginative, My birds would destroy al these toys as they have crinkle papers in! Your birds are so lucky for you to be their owner - Are you going to do a vlogmas this year or any Christmas themed vlogs?
Thank you 🥰 I’m not doing any Christmas videos this year - any time I do seasonal videos they never get viewed! Maybe next year! But I have some I’ve done previously!
Hiw do you pick your color-dyed materials? I think food color tint food grade is usually safe, is it true or not quite ? How do you know what is safe and what is to be considered carefully or avoided
I usually go for things sold by trusted bird stores, things intended for use with food as long as there’s no plastic coating, or children’s craft materials 😊
@@BirdNerdSophieWHATTT I HAVE TO TRY THIS! You have to try this as well I feel like! What would you make out of paper mache for your flock to distroy? Maybe a hatchday toy? Or seasonal ornaments?
Joyeux anniversaire a oiseaux jolies et intelligentes!! Bravo 😊👍👍👍🍀🌞🎉☕🐦🐦🐦😘😘😘
My girl loves popcorn as a shredding toy. I string some and hang it up. She spends an hour chewing it off.
Awesome! 🍿 🦜😊
Great idea! Thank you

Yes! I’ve had those popcorn cobs before and the birds liked them! But I just pop a small bath of organic corn for them now!

Thanks! You can get the coloured paper from Northern Parrots, or similar in children's craft sections of stores!
Love how these DIY toys turned out, great work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i think you were saying "sweet bag" but i was hearing "tweet bag" at first (like treat but for birds so tweet) and thought was a very cute name for it 😂
Haha that works too 😂
im not sure if this is relevant but I LOVE YOUR WHOLE FOODS VIDEO OMG!!
Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you 🤗

The paper straws are the best ever!
Weird question, but I found some seashells that I collected and I’m wondering if I clean them properly if it would be safe for a Conure to play with and chew on
I wouldn’t recommend them as they’ll be very sharp if chewed on!

great toys! I wished I were as creative as you are. The three cup toy is something my birds would definitely like to destroy 😆
Thank you! 🥰 I don’t think I’m that creative though - it took me a while to come up with these 😂
How would you make paper-mâché for bird toys 🤩😱🤯
You can do a mix of flour and water plus the paper 😊
@@BirdNerdSophieWHATTT
I HAVE TO TRY THIS! You have to try this as well I feel like! What would you make out of paper mache for your flock to distroy? Maybe a hatchday toy? Or seasonal ornaments?
@@GuyG.KTalesOfAnimals yes! Or do the paper mache over a balloon to make a big piñata 🥰
Ur parrots likes to see Camera/mirror with U ?!
It’s not something we really do!
