No Dollar Toy

I thought this was worth sharing just take your clean empty plastic bottles drill holes in the lids drop there favorite treat in the bottle i did almonds close caps tightly and there you have a toy.

Who would have thought, I been throwing those bottles away, what a clever idea but wouldn't your bird get frustrated eventually for they couldn't reach the almond?

I have an pepsi bottle that I put small bells in and put the lid back on tightly so they can't open it. They haven't lost interest in it yet and it's been about 3 months ago that I tried this out. It gets beat up and yelled at on a daily basis:laugh: :woohoo:

[carolz7]

Believe me they will get it open eventually and i have had mine play with these bottles for a while just thought this would be more fun stringing a bunch together.

You continue to amaze me with your ideas for toys from simple things you find, thanks for sharing all these ideas with us, beats going out and paying big bucks for toys they distroy in no time and I have better things to spend my money on, like eating:S :laugh:

You are welcome hope you both have fun with it.:B)

Be very careful about putting bells in those bottles. My grey Zimba eats the caps off eventually and he got a bell out and got the bell stuck on his lower beak and the vet had to surically remove it. That ten cent bell ended costing me 85 bucks to remove and hours of discomfort to my grey. NO BELLS::::

Interesting toy Carol. Thanks again for a great idea!

i took a bottle and clothespinned it to one of the cage bars. no lid, so the clothespin (old style with no spring) clipped to the opening.

 

gave it some squeezes so it made crinkly noises and got out of the way.

 

big fun!
