how to make a wooden ladder bird toy

this is me making a wooden ladder bird toy its easy to do

I am using a black and Decker cordless drill with the biggest bit that comes with it

I bought tack boxes from the dollar store to keep the beads and other stuff in

I keep the wood in a plastic bucket

the beads came from Walmart you can use hard plastic and wood beads i also get the wooden chew toys for hamsters and drill holes in them the birds like to spin them around

the rope and the bells I get from ebay you can get hemp and cotton rope from Walmart if you like.

if you are having trouble getting the beads threw the holes then thread the rope threw a large needle then do it that way. I am just a pro at threading beads and stuff

I do not breed birds anymore but will be making these for sale.

how do you know the wood is safe?

[denisesfeathers]

@3birdlover there is a on line list of what wood is safe and what is not.

where dd you buy the wood and the elastic thing? mostly the wood? and intead of wood can you use any home things?

[denisesfeathers]

I did not buy the wood I got tree branches from out side. then I cut them up . that is not elastic that's poly rope. you can use other stuff but you must make sure its bird safe.

I thought oak was bad too but your right it's only the bark

Concerning my previous comment... I looked it up and oak wood is supposed to be safe but the bark is not safe ;-)

Great work, just a tip, natural Sisal rope is the best rope to use, its all natural, made from sisal palm fibers its bird safe and works great, also I would lookup using the oak, I may be wronk but I think its on the list of woods not very good for parrots
