Well, i don't have pictures but its easy to describe.
Take a simple kind of string, like those organic hemp strings and a bunch of multicolored beads; the ones with big holes.
STring the beads onto the hemp until you fit about 25 beads, then tie the string off in two knots. Take the other end and tie it to a loop or something that you can secure to the top of the cage. i just took off the hook thingy from one of their other toys. Now make like 8 of these beaded ropes and just attach them all together to the loop and hang it in the cage. They love the neon colored bead and mine like to sit and mouth the beads
The reason its called a rain maker is because they manage to untie the hemp or even just break it off and all the beads on that string falls down to the bottom of the cage. its a bit of a shocking sound but both Lilo :budgie: and Stitch :budge: stop and look down at the beads at the bottom of the cage for about a minute, then continue onto the next string. I don't have problems with them eating the string or anything because they realy just want to get to the beads. Depending on what kind of knot you do, the toy is usually trashed within a week.
Its cheap, its nothing special, but it keeps their attention like crazy. :)
