Here's my first two homemade coconut toys (i spent the weekend opening and emptying coconuts, hehe)! Tiels get the first, budgies get the second (cause the tiels would have those shredder pieces off in seconds, the budgies might take a whole day, (Laughing out loud)). The tiels threw everything out of their coconut foraging toy within a few minutes. I can see it'll be a great game of we throw, you pick up.

 

 

Great stuff Bea... LOVE them!!! I saw some coconuts at the supermarket and was nearly going to get them. What did you do with the flesh and juice?

wow they look really good Bea... you should mass produce them and sell them, i would buy one

they look great Bea, you always have good ideas for toys for your budgies.

They were only $2 each from woolworths, i wanted the shells so i got a few. I tried the juice and flesh, hated it :(Laughing out loud):, froze some of the flesh for the birds and chucked the rest. They weren't expensive so it didn't bother me that much. Gracie really likes the flesh, and i'm sure the aviary budgies will eat it too.

Yeah, that was my thought! Pretty cheap. I think I'll pick some up and try them with the flesh. i've tried it in the past... YUCK!!!

They look awesome Bea!!! you're so creative! Bet my birds would be feeling ripped off right now if they could see those

They're great Bea

BUT if this one was in my aviary

 

there'd be eggs in it in no time :D

I was thinking the same about my avairy Kaz... I reakin I'd need to upturn the bottom one to avoid any un needwanted 'bubs' Especially the way Tweet Tweet is r****** around (Laughing out loud)

Well eggs shouldn't be a problem with my boys!! :(Laughing out loud): And the one for the tiels is a bit small for them to get into for that purpose. It did cross my mind to make one for the aviary birds, but almost immediately i thought BAD IDEA!!

Huh, my guys get the milk from the coconuts and also the flesh and love it, never thought to keep the shell will have to do that and make some more, which reminds me it's time to change the toys around this weekend! Yeah!

Very cool Bea. I have one like that too. I used to put dry type of food in it for the birds the only thing is it wasn't very stable so a lot feel to the ground.

those are neat toys!

They look awesome Bea, you are very talented!
