I will talk about how to make parrot toys for beginners. Making parrot toys is both a fun exercise as well as being able to save you money from buying commercial parrot toys. Parrots tend to destroy the toys they are play with. If you need to keep on buying the toys as replacement, you are going to spend quite a large sum of money. So, instead of doing that, I will cover some tips of how to make parrot toys for beginners.

First thing first, you must make parrot toys that are suitable for your parrots. Size is one consideration. Big birds tend to have stronger beaks so you need to make parrot toys that are stronger and more resistant. Another factor to keep in mind is thethe size of your parrot cage. Take care not to making a parrot that is too small for the cage as you will wasting your time and efforts in doing so.

Here are four different materials for you to make parrot toys

The first material I recommend is rope. They are useful material to hang stuff and you will probably need a few of these to create some interesting parrot toys. When buying the materials for making parrot toys, you can choose from several different types of rope, of which solid braided rope and twisted rope are the most popular. One important point to highlight is that you should choose a 100% cotton rope as it is safe for parrots when they incidentally digest it. Any alternatives are not considered bird safe. When making rope parrot toys, make sure all the frayed ends are trimmed so that your bird does not get caught.

Wood is another material that will be popular with your pet. When choosing wooden materials to make your parrot toys, ensure that you buy bird safe products. This is because your parrots may ingest some the wood that it is chewing on. Note that you should never buy wood that has been chemically treated (certain paints/lacquers contain zinc and other harmful chemicals/additives) as the chemicals can be deadly to your birds.

There are various widths and thickness of vegetable tanned leather strips. Be sure to purchase what is most suitable for your bird and the size of the hole that is drilled. The important thing is to ensure the leather has not been treated with any chemicals or dyes to prevent poisoning if you parrot accidentally swollen it.
