Ignors all the expensive toys, and goes for these.....*sigh*

haha Gracie loves straws! My solution. . . . . homemade toys made of straws!

That is Echo's favorite toy too! She LOVES straws over all the expensive, colorful toys we get... Oh Well!

One of Tausi's favorites was a wreath made out of short straws. Sometime I've gotta get a box of straws and restring that sucker. He chewed on it for hours!

OH! OH OH OH! I FEEL THE OCD INSPIRATION! What if for christmas I find some green straws and do what Quito does and make a wreath or maybe lil mini parrot trees with little wooden toys woven into it so that way the parrots can have a mini christmas tree to destroy without people worrying about the parrot poop in the real one? =)! Thanks for the idea Pita and Gayla and Quito!

Once again, creative genius is off to the races! Run with it Tinna, run with it!

Just think of it this way...you won't have to spend a lot to entertain him.

There are a lot of different way to make straw toys. Show us your creative side.

I make this toy for Kady. He goes through a few a week, but loves the sisal and straws.

*Wails* We're out of Straws!!!!!! ='( And it's dark it's too scary to drive around NJ tonight to find a cosco to buy an unrealistic amount of straws....*sniff* must wait for daylight!

All of my birds, from big to small, just LOVE straws from a restaurant that are wrapped in paper. I've been known to drink directly from a glass when eating out so I can stick the paper-wrapped straw (and maybe a spare or two ) in my purse to take home as a treat for my birds. They all seem to be intrigued with pulling the paper off the straw. What a cheapo toy!! My favorite kind!
