Default A Favorite Toy Around Here

The Whiffle Wonderland is a huge fav around here. It's ELF's most prized possession. I buy several at a time. Boogie and Tootsie also enjoy this toy too, though it lasts them a LONG time. ELF will work on this toy for hours at a time, and it lasts days until it's completely destroyed by his big beak. It's also a great price of $10 U.S. -

You can order from Avian Antics Bird Toys.

Oknuma,
You know, I attempted to make a whiffle ball bead toy once, and never again. They're not all that easy to make. Getting the rope through the little holes in exactly the right spot is no easy task. Plus, it's so time consuming to bead and knot. I gave up rather quickly. lol

If using ropey string try pushing a tooth pic of lollipop stick or similar 1/4" into the end of the rope then use a little bit of sellotape to hold it in, it makes threading so much easier and accurate!
Then just cut a little bit off the end of the rope when done
