Breezy2013 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 This is a fun room in the forum. It inspired me to make some foot toys for my Timneh Grey. Thanks everyone for the ideas! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNCAG Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'm not really ahead of you on this one. From seeing them at bird fairs etc., my assumption is that they are called foot toys because they are things the bird can hold in with one "foot" while they chew. Maybe someone who really knows will come along and set us straight! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I interpret them as being things they can pick up vs things that can hang toys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

LNCAG Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breezy2013 Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 I made a Mini Cupcake Liner Puffball Toy with Vine Balls and Beads that is going into a box of toys I am donating to a Rescue. I am almost ready to send that box off, it is just about full. My husband is helping me to make these. Once I am done with the donations I will make Breezy some toys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
