Easy, Fun Bird Toys that You Can Make at Home!

After the tube is dry, use scissors to cut spirals, rings, and other shapes out of the cardboard.

Don't be afraid to get creative with this project. There are endless modifications you can make to these toys with items that are laying around the house. For example, if you have some twine on hand, try stringing together a few cardboard rings to make a chain. If you have a few large buttons, attach them to a ring of cardboard to make an interesting plaything for your bird.

When cutting the shapes, rings and spirals out of the tube, make sure to discard the parts of the tube that have rings of glue on them, so your bird does not end up eating it! Although most of the glue washes off in the painting process, the amount that remains could be toxic if ingested. Please remember to cut these parts of the tube out and not offer them to your bird.
