These are all foot toys! I think it covers anything that they can pick up and hold with their foot to chew/shred/throw etc etc. Alfie very rarely bothers holding toys with his foot. He prefers to fling them at me and watch me fetch them!

Interesting, learn something new everyday. I guess I call some rope toys, some chew toys (esp with wood blocks or leather), some challenge toys (holds a nut/treat inside a 'cage' toy), etc.. Never been to a bird fair sadly, just seen the selection at pet store (and I've rehung new wooden blocks on older hanging 'chain' toys for him before). I guess I pictured a foot toy more like when I hand mine a popsicle stick or cardboard strip (foot sized hold-able) or even twisted paper he can hold and chew. Although, mine usually wants to play 'pick up' with such loose toys (Um, he drops, I retrieve). lol Mine loves to grab the bell on hanging chew toys so he can immediately remove the clacker inside. I usually ending up replacing the bells on new toys with older bells I've kept (if possible -- some toys are more easily modified than others). Anyway, my older/stronger bells can still ring -- and gives him some challenge to try and remove their clackers.

Yes, foot toys are toy parts strung on small lengths of bird safe rope or leather and tied that they hold and turn in their foot and chew. Breezy loves them.

I interpret them as being things they can pick up vs things that can hang toys.

Stupid forum member alert: Um, what are foot toys? Are they just simple smaller toys comfortably held in a grey foot? Are they loose items handed to a grey or toys hung on play gym? Anyway, always impressed with anyone crafty for making things!

Made a toy for Breezy today. Guess he liked it as it was on the bottom of the cage in pieces when I went in to feed him his dinner. Went to the store after dinner and when we got home he started peeping and whistling at us. He wanted his bedtime nut, so I went in the bird room, gave him his nut, which he was happy to eat. Then I turned off the light and he has gone to bed.
