Wood Bird Toy Parts

Wood should be at the top of your parrot toy supply shopping list. You can find it in different shapes, sizes and hardness(Be careful not all wood is safe and you want to stay away from wood that is painted or stained). You may need to try different items to see if your parrot prefers a certain type of wood.

Bird Toy Parts Storage

Once you get all your bird toy making supplies, you'll need someplace to keep everything. I love this cart for holding my supplies. I can easily move it anywhere I'm going to be toy-making and when I'm done with it or want it put away I can roll into another room or even a closet. And when you start getting a good size collection of toy parts, you just get another cart.
