Be sure to use only the safest parts when making your parrot toys. Click on my link to learn how to choose your parrot's toy parts.

[wearjo]

Love how that weird denim thing is a big hit XD

[TweetyGFX]

After seeing your videos GOD definitely gave you a GREAT personality and a GREAT bird!!! -GOD BLESS

[Doperaps10]

Coat hanger wire shouldnt be used for bird toys. Its sharp ends have punctured their beaks.

[birdzareawsome]

thanks a bunch for the vids

[LuvSmileyFace]

Could you boil wood to treat it? The oven's not an option for me. D=

[SkittleBug9719]

Great video! Defiantly going to make that preening toy for my Conure. He'll love it so much!

[Th30bserver]

Your amazingly ingenuous with stuff I've never thought about.

[MissWitchiepoo]

Hey great video. I'd like to know what tools you use to make the bird toys. Especially when making toys out of a hanger. I still haven't seen your other videos as I just found this one and hope I'm not asking an idiotic question because you show it in one of the other videos. But if I don't ask now I will forget my question LOL

[Chicolopez437]

can they eat paper 

[nkoleczek]

Would thread be OK to use for some toys??

[michwng]

[draco3113]

[ThePinkYoshi]

o thanks alot it really helped. i have a report to do for an essay and it really helped alot

[ashleyjuliette22]

Wire hangers are definitely Not Safe.

[Neferhotep85]

Yea, stainless steel is really the only safe type of metal to use.

[sitbde]

HELLO???

How irresponsible! I posted a year ago

CLOTHES HANGER WIRE IS NOT SAFE FOR BIRDS/PARROTS! Unknown metal, contains zinc. Toxic. Parrots die from zinc/heavy metal poisoning.

STAINLESS STEEL, or quality nickle plate is THE ONLY safe metal for birds.

Please listen...I know what I am talking about. I lost my first cockatiel to metal poisoning. Avian veterinarian confirmed. NOW I KNOW...and tryiong to save others suffering the same loss.

[heddypeddy]

Thank you! This video was so helpful . Pet toys are expensive and I wanted to make my own but wasn't sure what was safe to use!!

[lavonne427]

Heyy striker kid what kind of bird do u have I'm trying to get a lovebird or budgie cmmt back plz guyy

[striker1456]

Would bamboo palm be safe for birds?? i might want to use it for toys, perches ect??

[CALIbabyFOREVER]

some wood from trees are unsafe for birds. you should talk about that. apple is safe and manzanita too. But not all tree branches are safe and not recommended!!

[PiggyInThePigloo]

I Love your videos! Nice Job!!

[101naturelover]

me too, they help a lot thank you so much FroggiVR!!!

[WildWolfWings]

Omg! Your videos are great!!!! I just found them maybe 15 minutes ago and they are great!!! I'm 13, and pretty new to the bird world....so I'm trying to cram as much into my brain as possible!!! Your certainly helping a lot!!! My bird likes them too, xD she perked up all of a sudden when she heard the rattle!

[DistantStar09]

[Goldfingerownz]

[tamsin222]

Great video!

[galindo999]

could you plz make a video on how to make a cockatail bird toy

[dalsch]

Thanks so much for the cool ideas--went out and got the items I needed and my birds love the toys. I have 4 cockatiels, a lovebird, and a new little Quaker. I will post a vid response.

[Scarlett4Zanzibar]

Where so I buy the pony beads? And the butcher's twine? Thanks so much for theese great videos! ;)

[jollygoodgrub]

Thanks so much!

[dalsch]

Thanks again, GOBS OF INFO - love this kind of stuff--love making toys for my little one.

[champbaby16]

[FroggiVR]

I'll try to do one in the next few days. :)

[champbaby16]

thanks!

[domiselomi]

@FroggiVR i have a abyssian lovebird, how do i find out how old is he....

[juliaheartsmac]

Heey! I was wondering if you can use a rubber duck for a toy and tie it by the neck onto a toilet paper roll?? Im making a bird toy now haha thanks!

Brooke,

[FroggiVR]

That sounds great! WiIdgee has a rubber duck keychain I turned into a toy. :)

[sitbde]

Hanger wire is not safe. It is an unknown cheap metal, may contain zinc. Any metals that rust are not recommended for parrots. Stainless steel is the only safe metal, and some good quality nickel plated.

[ShuFFLeZz7645]

thank you

[campchic]

Another great video and the commentary by Widget in the background is perfect. Gabriel (my Quaker) loves to sit and watch her while I watch you, lol. Your toy tips are invaluable ... thank you thank you.

[fuzychiapet]

Thanks! You have alot of excellent ideas to get me started making my own bird toys- great video

[Superhappyfuntimefun]

Is hemp rope safe?

[FroggiVR]

As far as I know, hemp is safe. I have used it to make a few toys with no ill effects. However, I recommend cotton twine or jute, which closely resembles hemp, but is a bit stiffer and more wiry.

[brooknrich]

I love your videos! I have been making a ton for our lovebird and amazon parrot! :) Thanks for all the hard work and video's that you do! I love watching!

Brook

[FroggiVR]

Thanks! I'm glad to hear it!

[IIIFAGEIII]

Thank you so much for the valuable advice. I thank you and Lovey (Goffin) thanks you!!

[FroggiVR]

You're welcome! For a Cockatoo, you should go heavy on the "destructibles." Invest in a few untreated 2x4s, and cut them into chunks. Drill holes and add some knots with rope or leather. You can hang them up or leave them sitting around in the cage for Lovey to chew to bits. :)
