My 11YO daughter and I enjoy making toys for our birds. It would be impossible to say what kind we make, because whatever inspires us when we get the toy box out that's what we do. Also, each bird has special likes and dislikes we take into consideration. One thing that we do that may be a little different, is we dehydrate foods and use them as toys. Anything from cranberries to squash (rind, seeds, and all) to banana chips, if we dry them with a round toothpick through, we have a place to string them up. We also have a BIG rubbermaid container full of parts of all shapes and sizes and kinds. Don't think we've ever made the same thing twice.
