I use it all the time, but I got given a ton of it from someone who used to make her parrots toys. When I finally have to go get my own, I think I'd steer clear of the hardware store. Unless someone posts otherwise, I'd be afraid that it might not be processed in a bird-safe way. Especially because of my ekkie, I tend to be a little extra cautious.

 

I can't vouch for anyone from experience, but I've looked on Ebay under "bird sisal rope" & seen it posted, in various sizes. Unless someone has anything better, that's where I'll probably get what I need when mine runs out.

 

Hope it helps.

What ever you do , don't by from Lowe's, Walmart, or a hardware store, it's treated, you can smell it!!! Here's 1 location, http://www.cabirdnerds.com/shin.html

i have purchased some sisal rope... I ordered 35 feet. I hope this will be enough to cover to small hula hoops to make an orbit. Postage and packaging to ireland is $20 alone
