I don't know whether this is in the right place or not.

 

Has anyone got any good Ideas for home-made budgie toys. One below...

 

Honey Seed Bells

3 Egg cups seed

1 egg white

1 spoon honey (as much as you want. The more you add the more they like it)

Coathanger wire

 

1. Bend coathanger wire into hooks

2. Beat eggs till they foam

3. Add honey and seed and stir

4. Line egg cups with foil

5. place hooks in positon and add mixture

6. Bake till cooked- I do 90 celcius for about 120 minutes- low temp and long amount of time works best.

Wait until cool, pull of foil and hang up in cage. If they fall apart put in a little dish on the floor of the cage.

Popcorn strings

 

Get some un salted, un buttered popcorn and cook it. Then get a needle and thread and string the popcorn along the thread. You can also add beads to make it prettier. Then hang it up in your birds cage.

Cool I'll try and make one :)

Someone on here once suggested threading raw pasta on to string and mine enjoy playing with that.

I was going to post a topic on whether raw pasta is safe but you've answered my question!!! :bluebudgie:

i have tried opals suggestion for my hamster but some of the egg yoke slipped in but its in the oven now will let ya no how it goes.

I am sooo not bothered to make my own seed bells. You can buy them for like $1.50 at the supermarket!!!

tis alright if ya get get there but wot if ya cant. and u know exaclty what is going into the ones you make not all the preservatives and **** etc.

ATD

I don't think there would be preservatives in seed bells. I'll read the ingredients next time i get one! :(

(Laughing out loud) :(

Careful, sometimes they use PVC glue. Hopefully It will still work Sky. They also like beads on some fishing line.

Firstly, it's funny watching budgies trying to destroy them isn't it???? :(Laughing out loud):

 

 

Secondly, why on earth would there be PVC glue in a seed bell??? ;):(:D

Because it is "non-toxic" and easy to use

Well i don't believe that. Surely if you got a seed bell of a reputable (is that the word i'm looking for?) brand name in wouldn't have any bad ingredients in it! :P

but the bell round ere dont hsve brand names on them

ATD

yeah i have nver noticed a brand name on the seed bells i buy, i do hope they are safe (even though my budgies don't eat them!)

Your budgies don't eat them? :bluebudgie: WOW!!! I get Trill seed bells.

yea, mine don't go near them. the only way they will eat the is if i crush them up and puit them in the seed bowl(and that kind of defeats the pupose!!)

Yeah, kinda takes away the fun. :D:D

oh well, my birdies will have to gradually get used to the odd shaped food :D
