I'm going to need a lumber yard.LOL

I cannot believe the amount of wood Darius can chew in no time flat I made him 4 huge toys and filled a large heavy wicker basket with the left over blocks of wood and other foot toys. he has gone through all of it the very first day he chewed through the rope that the toys where hung on so I just left them in his basket he seems to prefer that. Yesterday I went and bought him 3 more 2x3x10's untreated spruce 3paks of 50 small dowels 3 paks of wood cloths pegs 3 pak of ABC childrens wood blocks. hopfully this will last a couple weeks. The toys I made for him would have lasted my other birds 2 years they lasted him 2 weeks. I'm really going to need a lumber yard I don't even think I'll bother making toys for him I'll just cut up the wood in 2",3",and a few 4" peices and let him go to town he seems to like that better anyway. I'm definatly going to have to keep him well supplyed so he leaves my beautiful wood trim around my windows alone. thank goodness I can get the lumber for pretty cheep if I buy the stuff that not perfect its only .50 a board so 1.50 every 3or4 weeks is a small price to pay to keep my house in tact.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/08/24 17:06
