Customer Rating: Summary: I am so pleased Comment: This book is well thought out... full of good information and reasons for keeping the cage stocked with toys.. I never thought about replacing a toy until I read that you can put them away and get them out again... Cockatoo's chew them up or figure out how to open them Now I can take it put it away for a few months and get it out again... Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book on Bird Toys & Activity Sets Comment: As a crafty person who just rescued an umbrella cockatoo from an abusive household, I am very, very pleased with this book. I don't have a lot of money to be throwing around to buy toys, but I do have a bunch of PVC pipe from a project some years ago and am putting it to good use thanks to this book. Great buy! Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK!!! Comment: I really liked this book. It has great ideas on how to keep you birds busy!
I have tried many of the ideas and my four birds LOVED them.
I shared the book with my sister and she is planning on ordering one.
Thanks!
Char Customer Rating: Summary: Parrot Toys and play areas Comment: If your a beginner to toys and playareas this will be hard to go by; there are NO pictures. Customer Rating: Summary: Great for improving your birds life!! Comment: This book categorises parrot personalities and describes 11 types of toys that will suit their individual traits. It then offers ideas for safely making these toys.
My birds seem to be so much happier having a variety of toys that are designed specifically for their needs.
My only gripe is the book provides diagrams for making bird gyms etc, but doesn't give any pictures or diagrams for the home-made toys.
