Who needs expensive bird toys?

DS12 wanted to share his bird toy invention with you. He used recycled materials.

Use a paper towel or toilet paper roll. Take care to be sure it doesn't contain any glue on it. Some brands of paper towel use adhesives.

With a hole puncher, punch 4 holes into the end of the tube.

Using twisty ties, attach to the side of the cage.

Our birds, Gust and Tornado, enjoy picking at the tube with their beaks and using the tube as a perch. Gust, (yellow wings), will even crawl inside of it.
