Which DIY toys do your parrots enjoy the most?

Finding engaging toys for parrots can be a bit tricky. Many of us want to keep our feathered friends happy, but it can be hard to know which DIY projects they’ll actually love. For example, I tried making a simple wooden block toy with some beads, but my parrot didn’t seem too interested.

I’ve heard that varying textures and sounds can really catch their attention. What materials or designs have you found to be irresistible for your parrots? Also, any advice on making sure the materials are safe would be really helpful. I’m eager to hear what great ideas you all have tried!

My parrot goes crazy for toys made from natural sisal and paper. I made a shredding toy with strips of paper and some wooden rings, and he couldn’t get enough! Just double-check that everything is non-toxic, and steer clear of any treated woods.

My parrot goes crazy for shredded paper and cardboard boxes. I just cut up some old newspapers and stuffed them in a box, and he loved tearing it apart! Just make sure it’s ink-free and non-toxic. Really keeps him busy!
