The Birdie Treasure Chest

 

This is Sophia's toy for tomorrow.  A leftover tuna box, some hemp string, and miscellaneous toys and goodies.  Birdie bliss!

 

 

 

The spiral things are cat toys.  They are very cool with lots of uses.  In this case, I've put two of them together, then rolled up some junk paper and cut strips in the ends to entice a curious birdie!

 

 



 

I used the string to put together some foot toys with beads and buttons, and I wrapped the nutri-berries inside little tissue paper rolls.  All goodies and toys went into the tuna box. 

 

 



 

Then I packed the box with lots of shredded paper ... again, from the recycling bin!  I just kept packing in as much as would fit!  Tomorrow I will also add little bits of veggies into the shredded paper for her to hunt for.

 

 



 

 

Then closing the lid, I pulled just a bit of the tissue paper and shredded paper through the lid and a hole I cut to entice her curiosity.  My plan is just to lay this on the bottom of her cage, but in the future I may also use some string to hang a box of goodies as well.  Or even attach it to the side of the cage. 

 

Voila!  A birdie treasure chest!!  This should keep her busy for a while.  Her cage may be a complete mess by the time I get home, but I will know she had a great time and is a happy bird:)  And, I can feel good that I entertained her with things from my recycle bin and her toy box!
