Where do you buy bird toys the most and why? I really like TNT best. It is a hobby for the owner not a business. They have pet birds too.
They organize them by size. Toys are bird tested and safe. I just ordered three from them. That other forum I am on had their annual sidewalk sale where all the vendors give major discounts.

Oh and they designed the now famous ALEX toy which was originally designed for the African grey named ALEX.

Please take a look at their amazing toys. No I do not work for them. Cannot give you a link for some reason.

I buy most of my toys locally from a lady named Esther Graham, Her business is Graham Parrot Toy Creations. I also buy from a man who makes amazing toys he has no website in fact every time I buy from him he does the math on a piece of paper, he is very old school. He is very charitable as well he gives me wholesale price because I operate a rescue:). I also shop at a place for all my parrot food that has many homemade toys from people doing it as a hobby and I occasionally buy from them I just bought one toy today for my Senegal from Their! He hasn't touched it yet but it is pretty awesome, until he knows it won't give him scars he won't touch it though.

I also tend to buy/ Make a lot of my own toys from things such as fleece blankets, cardboard etc etc. Many of my macaws/ the rescues macaws completely adore preening fleece toys. They are easy and cheap and provide tons of fun!

Other then that I don't really order online from anyone else, but the local people I know. I am lucky I have quite a few great toy makers here and very close to me!

I would also like to mention/recommend 8beaks, This lady does this as a hobby as well! Every time she is at a show she literally hands Lars 200 dollars worth of toys just because she thinks he is a wonderful bird with a great story.. All she asks for is pictures to post on her Facebook. She is a very charitable lady that has tons of great sales/offers!

8 beaks was participating in the big sale. I used to make toys but they always fell apart too easily. My hands have so much artbritis.
Sounds like your toy department is well covered.

Most of the time I try to make my own toys from parts of her old toys or stuff around the house. When I need to purchase a toy there is a local shop called Aquarium and Pets that I can visit or Petsmart is close by. I like to go looking for things to use sometimes at the Family Dollar store in the baby section or housewares area.

If things are good I love online shopping at MSBS !!!!
