JDS5607 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Anyone know where I can buy the cardboard tubes used to make bird bagels? I found a few suppliers online, however the tubes aren't thick like bird bagels... Any help would be appreciated. Sully goes through these like mad!

Talon Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Sorry, don't know where you can get them. I buy them in bulk for my 3 birds. I can imagine they would be hard to cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greymatter Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 My distributor is local - so I just advise what I need when I need it, and pick it up. There are plenty of online stores that offer online sales of bagels as well (if you don't need hundreds at a time!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDS5607 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks I actually would like a whooooole bunch. The cheapest I can find them is still sort of expensive. That's why I'm hoping to find the big tubes and cut them myself... which is seemingly harder than I thought it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsAreGrey8 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If you use pallet wrap (found at Office Depot for $30) the cores are extremely thick and my Grey loves chewing on it. I never tried cutting it, it's like 1/4" think at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greymatter Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Cutting with a nice edge - you would probably need a really good Band saw blade - the thickness of some tubes could wear this down rather quickly. it IS difficult to find anything larger than 3" Bagels in person for me, so I have to bite the bullet and buy online - not in bulk pricing, unfortunately. But hey, if one of us became a distributor for Birdie Bagels, good deals could be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Maybe if you do a goggle search you might find an online supplier of them at a more reasonable price but my Josey doesn't much care for them, to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDS5607 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Well, I found some more, but the problem is that they are thin tubes. Looks like I'll have to suck it up and spend the money on the bagels. I hate to deny any of my birds anything, lol but I don't think I can afford the bagel habit!
