DIY toys for ringnecks
Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2005 3:03 am
Whats your favourite toy that you have made for your ringneck?
Mine like chewing, chewing, food and chewing, so I tend to make toys that cater to that!
the first one is 'pine cone on a string'. you take a pine cone, wrap a piece of sisal string around it (between the spikes) and then tie it to the cage.
another one i like is a food one. i have a large plastic feeder and i put a piece of hessian over it with two holes just big enough for IRN's head. then you put some nuts, dried fruit, and some non food like wooden craft sticks into the container. the birds have to pull each piece out through the holes.
share your ideas! i would love to hear how you keep your babies entertained!
