Eco Craft: Paper Parakeet Toy

Make an easy paper parakeet toy! My parakeet Jasmine is helping me with this project. Your parakeet will love this toy and you get to recycle some paper and save money in the process.

i have two parakeets (boy&girl), well the girl is pulling out her feathers 1st it was because we took them to clip their wings,but her flying feathers grew back and she could fly now,but she is still pulling them out. so we bought her special food,but she still pulls her feathers out and now we think its our boy cause her buging her constantly and she gets mad sometimes. so me and my sis spend time w/them and decided to sperate them,but we need toys for the 2ed cage so can u tell me about that

@calltito - I use a few different toys for Jasmin. Some I bought, some I made.

Here are some ideas:

* Hanging Mirror - made by recycling the mirror lid of a make-up compact

* Climbing toy of plastic rings - made from milk jug caps or something similar

* Climbing toy of small branch pieces strung together (be careful of pesticides)

* Share your Cat's plastic chase balls (yes, I said cat - Jasmine loves those)

* Even a crumbled up paper ball is fun

Hope this helps.

how did you build a jungle gym? how would I get my budgie to be like yours because he gets uneasy when i put my hand in the cage. His wings arent clipped.

@xxxMuRpHyK1d171xxx - I used things I had around the house - wood pieces (untreated), branches from my back yard, some hemp for a ladder, a paper toys etc.

Jasmine's wings aren't clipped either. I started by offering spray millet by hand in the cage until she sat on it (I never withheld other food to force this). It takes a lot of patience to hold your hand still for this long. Later I offered millet outside the cage. She got so comfortable that now she flies to my hand without a treat.

How did you get the jasmine so tame

@Amaz991 - I spend a lot of time with Jasmine. She is usually with me when I work at my desk. I found the more I interacted with her, the tamer and the more curious she became. Now, I can't type a single e-mail without her sitting on my keyboard getting in the way LOL.

I have had my parakeet for 2 days (2nd day as of now) and I believe it is beginning to trust me A LOT more than it did at first. Any suggestions to help me make sure it trusts me more? I also have it literally 3 inches away from my PC which im always on. So that helps as well. Anything else that may help me and my little friend next to me now have a better bond? I really like my bird!
