What a great idea!

The only toy I have right now that no one is interesting in is a hanging toy that looks like a rocker or something. It's plastic and has a bell at the top, but neither of birds seem interested in this toy. If anyone thinks their bird(s) would enjoy, gimme a shout out and I'll send it along.

(Oh, and Cheryl, I just wanted to share that I tried your idea of a toy box, and my bird that doesn't like to play is absolutely in love with emptying and refilling it rolleyes.gif Thanks for the great suggestion!)

Oh! I think another thing that might appropiate in this thread is for people with multiple birds or speical needs or a limited budget or even who cannot find a certain toy to make a list. That way, next time someone like me is going shopping for bird toys, if they see something on the list they can maybe purchase it (I have a real problem when it comes to buying bird toys... I have no self control)!

I love this thread idea Cheryl! It's awesome!

Oh! This is another idea, is there any way to make this is a sticky thread? You know, one that stays up at the top even if no one posts in it?

(which, consequently, might be a good idea for andie's seed conversation method, since it is so regularly useful!)

Great idea, Cheryl! Can we make another section, "Items Wanted or Needed" under the "For The Bird Lovers" section of the forum? If not, how about another section being added in the member profile? Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

Much of this has already be discussed and decided by Shelly. We are just waiting for her to have time to start making things a reality.

Be patient! Good things come to those who wait. Lets keep this topic here just for Wanted, needed and unwanted, unneeded items.

I will put up a suggestion box in a minute.

I also have a forgaging toy that no one is getting into it. It's one of those green plastic boys with colored wood pieces inside.

Any toys or the like that anyone would like to pass along would be greatly appreciated.As the purchase of the bird, the cage, the first vet visit and all the other needed items can sure break the bank account LOL

I've got a small bucket of LaFebers cockateil pellets that we had got to try to switch Fez from Rowdybush to (I can't buy Rowdybush locally, and then it didn't matter, cause it turns out that he wasn't eating rowdybush anyway.. but that's a different story).. but he hates it!

If anybody birds eat this, and would like it, I'll pack it up in a freezer bag, and mail it off smile.gif

If anyone has any Rope perches, boings, Atoms, flat stone perches-pictured below- happy huts that your bird won't use maybe Michelle's Cutty would like to have them? See this post-Read the last post first and work back wards to the most recent- CUTTY I know a I have heard a lot of you buy happy huts only to have your birds freak out.

Cheryl - YOU ARE BEYOND SWEET TO THINK OF CUTTY! I love this little man SO much - it is so nice that so many of you here do, too.

I actually made a BUNCH of "happy huts" following Dee's instructions back in January. Nico doesn't use his too often, but Cutty sleeps in his all the time.

I am going to make an appointment soon with another local avian vet with many years of experience to go over Cutty's issues since we have had him. This vet, Dr. C, actually works in the vet clinic that I take my cats to - I didn't know he was an avian vet until Auntie Edna told me about him! Dr. B is happy to give us all of Cutty's records since November to share with Dr. C.

Cheryl - thank you - and thank you to PurpleSmurf for offering the hut. You guys are THE BEST!

Let us know what types of things you will need to help Cutty and maybe some of us can get a few things for him. I know I would love to get him something! The poor dear! I can't imagine how hard it is for him, as I know he is worse then even Peanut who really wobbles and rolls to get around.

I've got something to give, too...

A bag of Zupreem AvianMaintenance Fruit Blend.

I bought it - AND opened it - last September when Nico came to live with us. I've tried off and on since then to get him to eat it and he won't.

If anyone wants it, PM me! smile.gif

Thank you so much! smile.gif I will have to see what I can find to offer smile.gif I do have this "Swing" toy that someone made for me out of a wooden spoon but they hung it sideways so it looks like it would be uncomfy. Jack is scared of it because it has those beads that have like three prongs on them.. don't know how to describe them..but he's scared of them! lol Maybe someone could use it as just a toy and not really a swing?

Casey LOVES beads. I string them on hemp string for her, and they are her favorite toys. If no one else would like it, I'll take it and try it with her. If she doesn't like it I'll repost it here.

I'm not sure if this is right for me to ask, but I just want to help these guys. unsure.gif
A family member has 2 cockatiels and their cage has only 2 toys in it sad.gif One that is so old and chewed on that it is just about falling apart, and one that i bought for them.she says they doesn't have the money to spend on them ohmy.gif They are in the process of trying to sell them(in my opinion the best thing for them).When I mention the lack of toys to her she just laughs.Anyway, i have given her some perches(she only had 1 dow perch in their cage) and a ladder for them as well as some treats but everytime I see them they look so un-happpy and bored.She doesn't let them out of their cage much because of my young nephews(the birds bite).
Would anyone be willing to help me help these birds with any toys and such that they don't need?

I will try to find something to offer in return smile.gif So far all my extras have been passed to these guys......

I have an opened over half bag of Kaytee Kitchen Creations Pasta dinner with beans and Vegetables that my guys won't eat. Yes is is opened but it it dehydrated foods that will keep for a pretty long time. Use by date is 16 May 07. There is 1/2 to over 1/2 a bag left none of my guys will touch it. I can't stand the smell of it so I have no plans to try it with them again. (It doesn't smell bad, my son actually thought it was his dinner and was salavating over it.)



Any takers?

This is no longer available! I have had a taker!

Hello Cheryl!

I am very pleased to be a new member of this board! I know this may not be the place, but are we allowed to have a 'Trading' topic where people place what they have (that they don't want, and are willing to trade) Then they post a 'want' list where they list things that they need.

Here is an example:

Would Like:

* swing for my QP

* Plastic key rings (for toys)



What I have:

* extra wooden ladder (used for climbing)







That was just an example. I just thought it would be awsome to have one of these because another persons belonging is another person's need tongue.gif

I have 2 things:

1. 12" tall swing with a rough perch-maybe cement. My bird wouldn't go near it though I had it in his cage for a month.

2. One of those bendable ropes. I put it in his cage while he was on top of his cage and he wouldn't go back into his cage till I took it out.


I'm interested in a book on QPs.

I'll try to get a pict. of the swing on here by Wednes. smile.gif

Ok, rope is promised. Here is a link (hope it works) to pict. of the swing I bought at Petsmart. I paid $20 for it but will give it away free or for a QP tent that my bird will probably be afraid of!




Or just go to www.petsmart.com and do a search for swings. It's the big yellow one. I'm not sure if it's too big for a QP or not. Someone more experienced in Quakers can probably take a look and let me know.

I have some embrase handfeeding formula and kaytee handfeeding formula. 2 full sized jars all the way full if anyone would like?


Need: perches




Tip: Freeze handfeeding formula and it will stay fresh for a very long time. I keep a container in the freezer in case I get a sick one.

Brook:

I recently bought some Cholla cactus / wood on eBay to make a playstand for Skyler. People sell this stuff on eBay in a variety of lengths and diameters and it makes great perches. It's real sturdy. You can basically put a screw in the end of it to attach it to the cage.

I have two feather tethers (one tiel and one quaker, but I think that they are both the same size), and a whole bunch of big colorful plastic duck shaped links that Im willing to give up.

Need: Toys with feathers on them, or some nice big clean feathers to make toys out of. Also small toys with neutral colors.

The leashes and links have been spoken for. I forgot, I also have a very small rubber kong that would be a perfect foot foraging toy for a medium parrot if anyone wants it. I just cleaned my bird area out when Mekon got his new cage, so I have a few things that the birds wont use but I couldn't throw them away case they were still good.

Ricky would like the birdy kong! If it is not spoken for. Any toy anyone has that might help with plucking or you think it might keep Ricky very very busy, PM me so I can purchase some things for him. He is not doing as well as first seen and I am really trying hard with him.

I just took out the Kong and looked at it today and its quite a deal larger than I thought. It would probably be best suited for a larger parrot no smaller then a CAG. Its still small for a kong just not that small.

Would you still like it?

If no one else with a larger bird wants it, I am sure Ricky would play with it. He and Lucy love to play with toys that are for the larger birds. They have perches designed for Greys to Macaws.

I was wondering if anyone had some large perches that may be too big for their QPs or ones that their larger bird doesnt use.
shelby and Sebastion came to me with only concrete in their cage.Poor Sebastion's feet are full of sores from them sad.gif
I did buy them a large manzita perch as well as gave them another wood one I had. Silly birds chewed up the wood one(but it was just a big dowel that I fastened in their cage) I put in there and are now sharing the 1 mazita perch when they sleep.

May I suggest you look into these Cajeput Perches The outer bark is a great shredding toy but the inner wood is perfect for big birds and birds who chew because the wood is almost indestructable. I know they aren't cheap, but in the long run you save tons because you don't have to replace them as often. These are by far my favorite perches on the planet!

Buffet's mom, writing for Buffet, since he can make the noise of the keyboard, but can't seem to talk his beak into touching it.
Hi all! I am Buffet and I have a problem. My mom doesn't know what to get me to play with. Before I came to live with her, all I had in my cage was a metal rod. It had been spraypainted gold, and my mom was afraid I would get sick from playing with it. That mean woman took it out! She has put all kinds of weird things in my cage, blocks that are different colors, things she calls bells (those things make too much noise for me, I don't like them!) I don't know what toys I would like. Mom keeps trying to get me to pick up stuff with my feet, but, I don't like that, so I won't do it, I try to bite her if she touches my feet! Mom says she can't buy any new toys right now, cuz Dad was in the hospital and is on new medicine. If you have any toys that you think I would like to play with, will you let my mom know? Also, will you please tell her to lay of touching my feet? (mom's note: Any ideas on how to get Buffet to pick up things with his feet? Thanks for any advise on toys!
Buffet and I appreciat it!

hi first of all I would just like to say that this is a great idea to help other birds in need. I have several things that I need for mine as I am on a very tight budget and am not able to afford a whole lot for my girl. I was wondering if anyone had any food that their bird won't eat that they could pass along to me. It doesn't have to be any certain type, Emma will eat anything. laugh.gif I was also looking for a sleeping cage, flight suit, and a shower perch. Emma loves showers and baths, but I hate having her be on my shoulder for the poop factor during a shower and hate having to put her on the shower curtain rack when I wash my hair so I thought a shower perch would be much easier. Also any treats that anyone has on hand or small toys that theirs doesn't like would greatly be appreciated. Anything that anyone can send will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for helping out if you can!!!

Flight Suit or Feather Tether anyone? Maybe a Happy hut? I'm in Post Falls, ID. I'm not sure if Wickett will like either, but as well as he stays on my shoulder I'm sure he'd love to be able to go out with me.
Thanks,

Great idea. I'll see what I have. I wish I saw this before I threw out Bukus toys. Did you ask lisa at 8 beaks. She is very nice she can help. Maybe she could even post something on her web site for you. Cheryl if you don't know her. I buy stuff from her. I am sure other do too. I can forward your post.Let me know

Hi Buffet,
My Frankie just loves to shred kleenex to bits! He also fins the inner rolls of TP and papertowels a blast!
Another item we have tried to interest Frankie in, to no avail, are brightly colored straws.
Good luck in finding a toy he likes! He's lucky to have you and a bunch of love instead of just a gold rod! smile.gif

I'd be interested in a feather tether if anyone had one. I've just rotated a bunch of toys...so we'll see if anything becomes a complete write off for my lot.
I have one cage that could be used as a sleeper.

I have one external feeder similar to the one in the photo I am attaching (which I stole from Majj!). Mine is a lot larger - by that I mean the external "container" that holds the bird pellets is MUCH taller. I bought it from our local bird store for $60 and used it about one month. It has since been though the dishwasher and is taking up space in my closet.

It just doesn't work for us, so I am willing to sell it if anyone is interested in it. Does $30 sound fair?

Hi Everyone,

As most of you know, I am in the process of taking in 3 more Q's. One belongs to the same woman I am getting the Goffin from, and his name is currently Dawson. The other two, Choppy and Louie, belong to a woman who is terminally ill and is seeking a good home for them. I will post the sordid details of these two later under the "Days" thread, but I do have a distinct purpose of this posting.

I have been extremely fortunate with the support I am able to provide my birds as far as buying and making toys, providing vetting, acquiring cages, etc. However, I am finding myself in a position with these two Q's where I desperately need more perches.

I went earlier this week and bought a new cage for "Dawson" along with perches, toys, etc. I knew going into it that he would need everything. I did not, however, know the direness of the situation with Choppy and Louie.

I have made arrangements with my favorite bird store to purchase two cages and a deep discount. My avian vet has agreed to give me the rates he charges the rescue I volunteer with for these two. I have bought TONS of toy making stuff, and feel very good about my ability to provide all types of toys.

Before I go out and start buying perches I thought I would give it a whirl here to see if anyone has ANY perches they are no longer using, or may be willing to part with at a modest cost. Any type would be wonderful! The only thing these 2 Q's have is a 5/8" dowel rod, and that is all they have ever known. Wood, sandy, cement, any type of perch you may have to spare would be appreciated.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and for your consideration!

I'm in need of some Cockatiel sized toys, or things to make them some toys , When I got them I was under the impression they would come with toys, but all that was in their cage was a plastic perch ( i'm not even going to say what it resembles), and a couple dowel rods and food dishes



we made them a portable perch out of Pvc pipe, like we did for our Budgies/ and Quaker and I've tied a Cat ball on to it to give them somthing to play with while on there, I've added a cat ball to thier cage, and a few strung wooden beads that I had that were bigger then the ones i use for my Budgies



but everything else i've got is small for budgies,



so if any one has anything laying around taking up space, collecting dust and so on Message me, please :-)

This is an awesome idea, glad I found it. I was purchasing some foot toys for Bogi, and thought this was smaller! Its a little bigger than a baseball, it can be used as a foot toy for a large parrot or maybe for the crafty people, can add a chain or rope to hang in the cage. If youre interested, let me know and its yours!

You know, there are a lot of people out there with bird cages and the works in storage after deciding birds are not for them. I posted a want ad on Freecycle and on Craigslist and got 2 free huge parrot cages...just thought I would add the idea.

I love the idea of this topic! biggrin.gif



okay, I bought this school house play gym from petsmart 'cause I thought Jack might like it...
but alas, he's deathly afraid of it, and I think it's a tad too small (the box read "perfect for cockatiels and small parrots! rolleyes.gif )

So, I propose to give it away to anyone that wants it if they think their QP or smaller bird would like it. The only thing I ask (and in all reality, my parents are demanding...*sigh*) is that whomever wants it pays for the shipping.

Here are some pictures:
DSC00001.JPG
DSC00002.JPG
DSC00003.JPG
as you can see, there's a step-down kinda hole there for a dish of sorts. It came with one, but Jack picked it up and took it as his own. He now houses all his toys in it laugh.gif
the little horse is made out of what feels like tough rubber, so i think that may be chewed to pieces by a QP, the seesaw in the back isn't held down, so you can move it around, and nearly everything is made out of plastic, so i'm assuming it's safe. one thing i'll mention though is that it's held together in a kind of peg-and-dowel way (if that makes sense), so heavier birds might make them come undone, and smart birds can probably take it apart with effort...
*sigh* I shouldn't've bought it. >.<

Here's a comparison image --I had to hold him there, he was so scared of it unsure.gif :
DSC00004.JPG


So, there ya go. If you're interested, PM me smile.gif





on another note --when it comes to rope perches, do your darlings tear them apart? 'cause if so, i'd be careful, they're a bit dangerous when unraveled and the metal rod is revealed...Here's Jack's "handiwork" :
DSC00005.JPG

and you can see the sharp point in this one:
DSC00006.JPG



I wish he wouldn't have done that. He enjoyed it, so he chewed it rolleyes.gif

I just bought a Hagen Preview cage at Petsmart for around $70 for my new adopted rescued QP. The cage said that it would fit a Sun Conure or any bird up to 12". It is a really nice cage but I feel that it is too small for my new friend. Does anyone have a nice sized cage that they would like to trade for this one that would make a QP feel like a king?
This little one sure deserves it.

looks like this is where i shold have posted the free cage thread.
i might be able to work something out through paypal (for the shipping)- not sure exactly how that works. My humane society deals only with dogs and cats so i'm trying to find someone who can use it.

I apologize if this isn't allowed, but I wanted to let everyone know.

free cage in east texas

I have a bird cage I'm looking to donate if anyone can use it. I just ordered my
cockatiels a new one. This one is definitly used, but still has a few good
years left. Damage is:
*small piece chipped away on brim of tray still works fine
*rust on the stand not visible to the outside nor do the birds come
in contact with it
*a little banged up but not bad and a small broken weld on the part
of the stand that holds the wheel to it again still functional

it is 20X20X30ish at the top of the dome with 5/8 bar spacing. If you
can use it or no of someone who can you're welcome to it.

I can post a pic if anyone is interested.

Hi Everyone!

With our rescue full to the brim, and more birds coming in weekly, we can use almost anything. Food, toys, perches, treats ... you name it -- any size -- we have a use for it.

Please consider Bird is the Word if you have items to spare!

Thanks for reading!

Hi Everyone!!

Well, I jumped the gun a bit and ordered a bunch of rope perches from Mother Pluckin' Bird Toys. After arranging the cages, I found that I've got quite a few that won't work, either too big a diameter or too long for the cages I have. None of these have been used/touch by a bird.

You can go to the Mother Pluckin' Bird site and see what they look like. They won't take returns or exchanges .. there were other items I wanted, but due to the nature of the items and concerns on their end of "bird health" they don't take back perches/toys.

So, I'm listing the rope perches that I can't use, perhaps I can get back a little of the money I spent, and save some people here a few bucks as well.

Here's what I have and what the original cost was:

1" Diameter Natural Rope Perch 3 foot $10.00
1" Diameter Natural Rope Perch 4 foot $12.00
3/4" Diameter Natural Rope Perch 4 foot $9.50
3/4" Diameter Sisal Perch 4 ft. $12.00
1/2" Diameter Sisal Perch 4 ft. $6.50

Here's the link for the Mother Pluckin Bird toys web site so you can see what they look like and all the info:

www.motherpluckinbirdtoys.com/

If you see anything you can use, please PM me and we'll work out a price and getting it to you. I have PayPal, if that helps, and can ship whatever way is most convenient to you. I have a business account with Fed Ex, so the shipping shouldn't be much.

Let me know.

Have a birdy-ful day!!

Teresa

I have an opened container of Katee Nature's Benefits treats of mixed nuts. Cricket refuses to eat them. I also have a couple of sample packs of avi-cakes and nutriberries if someone would like them!

Hi
I have an Aviator Harness (red) that will come with the video --I would be willing to trade someone for a flight suit with a leash or some bird toys-- anyone interested? I only used the aviator for a few days.

i was running low on pellets earlier this week and was too lazy to go to the exotic bird store to buy more roudybush pellets so i went to petco and bought a small 1.26 lb of lafeber's cockatiel size pellets...

of course... no one will eat them! gator and sky are "pigs" and usually eat anything but not these.

if anyone would like the almost full tub, send me a PM.

Since there are a LOT of post here,and I realize most are very old. So, I'm not really sure if anyone needs anything or not? Does anyone? Just wanted to check. Dolly sometimes has extras.

I also have a forgaging toy that no one is getting into it. It's one of those green plastic boys with colored wood pieces inside.



Can I have the toy? I'm in Texas

I am in need of a few toys and a happy hut for my new little girl! I am not picky about what toys as I have 4 quakers that love different stuff. I am on a very fixed income to say the least. Our family lives of 1000 a month for a family of five but our birds are all spoiled. we may be a little tight at the end of the month but they all get there big cages fresh friuts and veggies and they are all on roudybush. with these bills and our little money and help is most loved lol! So anyone with left overs or what youd think was a throw away we would love it! please let me know and know that jellybean, Skittles, baxter and elvis will love you for it!

Hello, we are new to this group. What a neat bunch of people you all are! And this section is great! biggrin.gif

We are in need of some toys for our 4 month-old baby QP, Solomon.

We would appreciate any perches for inside the cage- especially a soft rope one.
We would also like to have a portable carrying cage- so that we can take him to my mom's house. We take care of her full-time- she is in a wheelchair- and she loves to watch videos of the bird, but has not met him personally yet.
We would love to have a playground or perch stand for outside the cage, or any toys that someone may not be using.
Thanks for considering us.

Hi all! I bought Seeley a small travel cage the other day and it came with those sandpaper perch covers and a cuttle bone. We don't use either. If someone could use them, please send me a PM.

I forgot about a Happy Hut I have. It's used and too small for QPs but just perfect for parrotletts. Shoot me a PM if you have a fid that could use a comfy bed.

You my want one or two of the comfort perches ... you can put them inside or outside the cage so racal can sit on them in or outside his home. Manzinita perches are nice ... it won't hurt if they chew them, it is a VERY hard wood and it usually has different diameters so their little feeties get some exersice just scrambling from one end to the other. Choller perches are nice, too .... it has little holes (it is a type of cactus) in it that you can put treats into and give the fid some foraging time ... as for toys, bells are pretty popular, I go to the dollar store and buy those little plastic baby toys (keys, blocks, etc), larger buttons on leather strips, empty wooden (or plastic) thread spools, plastic spoons, popcicle sticks, pony beads on ribbon or leather strips, mine like plain old ink pens or pencils, milk jug tops, empty scotch tape rolls, adding machine paper, paper towels, just watch your bird to see what he's playing with. If its safe, let him have it. If it isn't take it away and give him something else. Some of the simplest things can keep them busy for hours!!! LOL biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
