Post pictures of your DIY toys

[Tia]

Hi everyone!

I've ordered a whole lot of toy making supplies from http://www.birdyboredombusters.com and I need some ideas of what to do with it.
Sunnie doesn't play with toys ever and I'm running out of ideas because she doesn't play with anything! I'll post a question about that later, but I'm trying all sorts.
Please could you all post pictures of the toys you've made for your fids so that I can make as many different toys as my supplies let me. I'll make a list of all the things I ordered earlier and post it here.

Thanks, Tia

id love to buy supplies but i dont have any way to pay

have you tried leaving toys there for them to play with?... some things they like quickly, other things can take months to not be 'threatening' any more....
but you could never build too many toys for your budgies, so i think this is a great idea...
i will have to go through my things with the camera....

I don't know what's wrong with him and toys. A toy in her cage at the moment has been there since I got her but I've only seen her play with it once. I'm wondering if maybe the reason is because either she'd rather have another budgie, that she gets bored very easily or the fact I've got a reflective bath-tub in her cage? She spends a lot of time sitting on it or talking to her reflection in it. Maybe I should remove it and get her another one that is not reflective? I don't know but my mum did get a bit angry about it the other day, 'cos we went to the pet shop and I was going to buy a new toy but she said I wasn't allowed to as 'she has many toys and never plays with them anyway!' blah blah blah. :p
I'm not sure when my supplies are coming but here's a list of what I bought. They were a very good price and I would highly recommend the website I got them from...
Letter Beads
Small Round Beads
Critter Charms
Colored Craft Spoons
Wood Balls
4mm Plastic Chain (1ft)
14mm Nickel Plated Bells
Plastic Baby Bears
Perforated Golf Balls
Small Clear Color Pacifiers
Cotton Mop Head
Veggie Tanned Leather Laces
Bamboo Shredders
Colored Mini Munch Balls
Nickel Plated Pear Links
Star Pony Beads

They're all in large quantities so I was very pleased. Any tips on what I could do with them? Post all your pics 'cos it would be nice for people to see the hard work we've done for our birds.

Thanks, Tia

I made some others but I have no pics. I am calling that one the Squawktopus.


Conure Crazy has some good ideas too:

I made this toy a few days ago with some birdy bagel bites, munch balls (in the centers of the bagel bites), gimp and beads:

I'd recommend taking a look at the Birdy Boredom Busters website again. Specifically, look at some of the toys for small birds that were made and get some ideas from those. That's how I got the idea to put the mini munch balls inside the birdy bagel bites.
