  • Making DIY bird toys has never been easier! Here is a video of how to make cheap DIY bird toys using things that you can buy at the dollar store! I spent about $15 in total making these five DIY dollar store bird toys and foraging toys and I still have extra material left over to make more toys! When making DIY bird toys, always remember to get bird-safe materials! Happy bird toy making!

      Please don't get a bird if you can't financially support them! Birds are really expensive, especially in the long run. If your family and you are financially stable and ready for the constant attention and research, the you can get birds but please don't get birds if you don't have the money to support the birds!

    Thank you! You've just saved me a lot of money. Going to make some variations of these with finger traps -- my Buddy loves to tear them apart. Going to avoid the popsicle sticks because Buddy ends up gagging on splinters with wooden toys (tricky because chewing on wood is his favorite thing to do.)

    • @FlyingFids
      @FlyingFids  Pƙed 3 lety +6

      thanks so much! 💕 green cheeks are amazing, aren't they?!
      for me, it depends on how long the training sessions are (usually 15-20 mins.) Pineapple and Pumpkin will get safflower seeds whenever they do a correct behavior during the training sessions and they end up eating a lot because they're both so good at listening haha! I also incorporate some recall training during training sessions so they get some more flying in and so it makes up for all the seeds they'll get! As long as your birdie is on a balanced diet and seeds are used as treats, she should be okay!

      You do have to be mindful. Thankfully food wrappers usually don't have anything bad. I tend to avoid paper with shiny finish, but things like brown kraft paper, newspaper, etc are good. Even twine is often treated with things that are harmful, so I often buy these things from somewhere where that info is available, and not from a dollar store.

    From everything I've been reading you should avoid anything with dyes. If anyone makes any of these, don't use colored paper. Not sure about coin wrappers, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Also make sure your bird doesn't eat any of it, and don't use anything they can get stuck inside of.

      My sun conure eats Tops small pellets and Nutraberries. She also eats a variety of fresh veggies and fruit.

      not sure where she got hers, but you can get twine from amazon, eBay, and most craft stores should have it too.

    Guys please please please do not use plastic anything! beads and easy bendy plastic cups or anything similar they love to chew and ingesting any could be fatal. when birds forage they like to chew on their surroundings so they'll chew on the beads or any plastic and get very ill. Stick to all natural woods and if you want colour naturally dyed woods, SIMPLE! and its usually less expensive.
