6 Types of Parrot Toys I Love Including DIY Parrot Toy Tips, Ideas and Hazards | PARRONT TIP TUESDAY

[@katieh4005]

please be careful with reflective toys, my tiel becomes obsessed with his reflection to the point of becoming aggressive towards me, so I have to limit mirror access so he doesn't become obsessed again.

[@succulentworm9351]

what a narcissist heheheh!

[@briananuvattanachai6646]

Mirrors can trigger hormonal behavior because the birds believe they found another mate.

[@leiad1321]

Yea I have a budgie and he loves his mirror if there's a mirror he will go to it and he actually will bite me if I come near him and his mirror

[@simonaeaton2217]

leia D ya that’s because mirrors trigger hormonal behavior so your bird probably thinks of his reflection as another bird/mate and gets frustrated that it doesn’t respond to him so it causes aggression issues and anxiety

[@Funkynugget2004]

Cody was the best to demonstrate every toy.

[@veronikaqueenstone6133]

I agree with alot of these things, but mirrors are not good if your bird becomes OBSESSED. My old bird was obsessed and wouldnt even leave the mirror to eat. No hate, I just want to spread the message

[@cenoflame21]

Picasso has such a cute unibrow.

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Isn't it just?

[@Kennedyjhall]

I think its safe to say we all miss that unibrow :(

[@birdperson9742]

I have a toy suggestion! I put a lot of beeds in a shallow but wide bucket and put a few treats in there and it keeps my bird busy for around a hour its a gret scavenging toy🐣

[@starburst9053]

Angela Clarke great idea!

[@marygambino1389]

I'm 61 and may be too old for such a beautiful, intelligent creature. but these videos have been SO helpful. I was always scared of all birds. I hope (very much) to meet a bird, someday! Thank you, Marlene. I share your videos and introduce you as THE BIRD CHICK :)

[@chilopodafreutsichwieeinsc3969]

Mary Gambino If there's a park around you could start there, alot of 'everyday' birds are there, like pigeons

[@xxjudixxyeet400]

Your not old😊

[@jaslene_morales2571]

U can never be to old for birds :D

[@rivendelldaughter]

Marlene: I want to talk about a few hazards Cody: Allow me..

[@patrickgragg5602]

I love the way they reach out and take the toys from you!

[@uhcassie9233]

"oh i don't know chew up your keyboard" the shade at Picasso haha💕

[@molesummers2575]

I absolutely love watching the birds in the background. My favorite part is when Cody tips himself over, and just lays there. They are so adorable. I love them!!!

[@nskarpy6842]

starts talking about birds being destructive "where's Picasso?"

[@bluebutterfly4728]

My favorite part of the video was Cody reaching for every new toy you were pulling out of your bag of toys. Also, I have never seen Jersey so still before. Great informational video! ♥

[@kristinanichole2889]

Oh, my. God. I .like. Jersey

[@patstokes3615]

I loved how your bird was just right in the mix. Had to taste everything.. It was funny when you had the old beat up toy which was mostly wire and you were sawing it and moving it around but the whole time that bird was trying his best to get a hold of it but you just kept putting it out of his reach.

[@patriciacabrera2160]

Cody is such a good birdy Playing with everything 😍✨✨✨🤗 Loved it

[@nathalieprins9947]

My favorite part of the video was Cody reaching for every new toy you were pulling out of your bag of toys. Also, I have never seen Jersey so still before. Great informational video! ♥ BEANTWOORDEN 11

[@buggirl1015]

I don't even have a bird yet but well doing my research lol thanks for all the helpful great video

[@morkandmindy3]

This was an excellent video!! You gave great ideas for buying and making toys!! BTW, I love your Amazon page!! I've bought a lot of things from it!! It makes my life so much easier having everything I need on one page so I don't have to waste time looking all over Amazon for them!! And I know if you recommend it, it's safe for my bird!!! I'm so excited that you added some of these toys to your page. I can't wait to start picking out some new toys for my baby!! Thank you so much!!

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+morkandmindy3 thank you for checking that out! I love that you love the video!!!

[@dianefitzpatrick7774]

@@MARLENEMCCOHEN MS. Marlene, I've just sub'd your channel and am curious about metal toxins, due to the fact many toys are .made in China, have you had a problem with zinc, lead, or copper poisening?? Please inform the novice owners that it can be a real issue. Stainless steel is the only way to go when purchasing or making a toy for one of your babies. You have a large group of fans who are children and they DO NEED TO KNOW what is proper materials to use. Keep up the GREAT WORK you do and if they follow your advice they will have healthy happy birds. Thanks again for the wonderful work you do, I have cheered up so much after finding your videos that I've encouraged my daughter to let your channel be the 1st she gets to see and learn about healthy happy pet (family) care. I am 61yr old grandmother who is old-school but your info is a perfect intro into my grandchild's ability to learn from new technology. You and your sister are so special and are a great example of learning by watching & listening.🤗 Have a wonderful labor day weekend and never forget to take care of yourself first so you have the energy to continue to inform us of proper & fun pet care!!🌺 💖

[@mysticalcosmicshamangeorgi4736]

Loved all of it! I'm making a falconry toy for a falcon he is moving soon. I do also like the mop idea. Of course I'm going larger for the Falcon Fable. I just loved watching your birds tonight!!! Georgia... Your new subscriber! Sweet Tweets...love and good wishes.

[@kaptainkootie2377]

Love that you showed how to revamp toys and reuse parts! My bird goes through toys so quickly and I saved all the leftovers in case I found a use for them... and now I see how to make a lot more toys out of them! Reuse and recycle!

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

Yep. Chickie! I've always worried about beads. I'll check it out further. Mine loves bells. That red ball w/the holes is a great vehicle for toys. It figures Vinny loves to look at himself, mirrors. LOL

[@yasmindiaz6334]

Seeinh cody play with every toy made me so happy to know you got to rescue him❤

[@siennacheesecake179]

13:37 (diy toys, you’re welcome)

[@WarmFuzzyVibes]

Marlene, I love your videos! Thanks for this nice instructional video with your birbs right there in showing various toys! Picasso is so cute as is Cody! Jersey chillin' in the background, supervising!

[@majablackmore6548]

I’m new to birds and everything...Your helping me so much about them and how to take care of them THANK YOU...your helping take care of my bird for the future JUST THANK YOU!!!LIVE YOUR VIDS ❤️❤️❤️

[@kadancebrooke7122]

I LOVE how kodi dropped everything u gave him

[@janeanmagers485]

OMG, when Cody fell over & you can just see his foot sticking up I laughed so hard!! Really appreciate this video (and all your videos, really) - it's helping us become a bird-friendly family for our new conure!

[@YouTubeCSH]

I am so glad that I found you. This was very educational. Thanks. Please keep doing these.

[@ogbs1]

I love this video of Cody flipping over 😂 so cute!

[@alexisalonzo8908]

Now i know where Jersey gets her Donut obsession

[@allisongreenlee6862]

I love how you brought out the paper towel roll and Cody grabbed it immediately proving your point lol

[@dready529]

20:59 - 21:02 it looks like Cody is having war flashbacks

[@captainamerica6525]

Kids wooden letter blocks are perfect chew toys for a parrot. I drilled holes through the center of mine and stacked em up via hemp rope. Bird loves them.

[@Lorilaii]

I think I am going to need to get a box of beads. My hahns macaw was watching this with me and in the shot where you held it to the camera he moved in to pick one lol. Watching Cody want every toy you touched was adorable!

[@wendybrunell8825]

Was one of the best videos I have watched, thanking you so much xx

[@debrashateri8015]

Love you and your birds. Thank you for teaching those of us who love and need to know more about birds. Your knowledge is precious.

[@esthermckenzie5500]

I wish you were on twitch and streamed craft day making toys that'd be the best thing ever!

[@THEE.apples]

Foraging, flight training, and understanding body language videos please.😊 Great vid btw

[@Rook_Raff]

ii Marquise ii ii Marquise ii I thought you said FIGHT training I was very concerned

[@kamilaevans7970]

I agree but I doubt she will do flight training vids since her birds aren't free flight trained. And yes ik this is 3 years late BTW XD

[@jamistevens4988]

Videos on this channel from over a year ago of Vinny doing free flight.

[@marygambino1389]

You will be such an awesome senior citizen! I promise to follow along. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your enthusiasm, expertise, and stories to the sniffer-wannabes in the world! As God is my witness - there is a perch in heaven for Marlene THE BIRD CHICK McCohen

[@Kimberlite66]

Wow! Really informative and you totally know what you are doing!! You have given me some great ideas to help occupy my Ringneck parrot and keep him busy. I am going to buy a deep cat litter tray and put some safe toys in there and he can doddle about playing amongst them. Thank you for your birdie toy insight! Awsome job! 👍👍

[@DantesPop]

I love the idea of getting baby toys for them, I would never have thought of that on my own. Thank you so much

[@wctess]

DantesPop we went to the 99 cent store and got our African grey parrot 2 baby’s toys which he loves one is baby keys and the other one is a baby rattler

[@finchestomacaws563]

He just keeps on dropping all of the toys u give him oh Cody 😂

[@rebekahtitel3367]

Cody reaches into the frame yoink my purple bead

[@cherylbrowning1172]

This is by far my favorite video!!! I love em all but this is SO helpful!!! Thank you!!

[@ILIKEUALOT]

Thank you, great ideas!

[@MrTheHaharvey]

Fantastic, great tip to keep the clips and bits and pieces of old toys,,.. they get expensive to buy new all the time1 Love ya work!

[@TheSinatra9]

I realize this video is old but I laughed my ass off when you held up that toy with the large fastener on it and said might be a little exaggerated 🤣 You are wonderful medicine. Thank you for making these videos they’re obviously helpful.. bet u didn’t know that. 😉

[@fisforferguson1761]

I just found your channel on KZbin. So glad I found you! I have a 13-year-old African gray and she’s going through a hard time right now with biting me. I wanted to see what I could do for toys…Thank you for this awesome video :-) I’m gonna go check out the rest of your videos now :-)

[@usmankazi371]

OHh I love to watch your videos and they're are really helpful for me

[@GraceT]

One really awesome toy my parrots absolutely love: the cat scratching cardboard!

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

Chimes have always been a hit with mine. Wood chimes, metal chimes they love them.

[@theartofkevinking]

Great shopping list my flock of 3 will be very happy 😊

[@tupecktherappingparrot4345]

Ball pit for birds... Cody discovered it! Now it’s a thang & I can safety ask my staff for one! Thanks Cody! Great idea.

[@brendagomez5072]

Marlene!!! I love you, you have so much passion for your little ones! I'm a new sub this year and I've already had so much fun watching all your birdies and I don't even own any birds! 😅

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+Brenda Gomez thank you so much for your beautiful comment!!! It really made my day better!!🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💜💜💜

[@annheywood843]

Hi I love every video that I have seen very interacting with the birds I love it thanks it has helped me loads

[@jenniezhang2310]

Absolutely love your videos ❤️ I was so inspired to get a bird, and with sayin that, I'm hopefully gonna be getting a cockatiel at the end of this year. I've learnt so much from your videos and I'm 100% prepared! I want to see more of your videos

[@allthatheavenwillallow2933]

Cody likes everything

[@midnightriot2454]

I realised my African Grey LOVES orange and red, and I pretty much exclusively buy baby toys because for one they keep cost low and are sturdy especially teething rings

[@ladyplant8412]

Haha they're so cute, upside down Cody honestly made my day! My budgie Snowflake's favorites were the foraging perches actually, that looked quite familiar to me! XD of course her other favorite things were anything she wasn't supposed to chew, funnily enough she was also nicknamed "The Shredder!" I feel like her and Picasso would have had some naughty bird things to talk about lol (and yet we love them anyways (: )

[@danielleemond9209]

Can you make a bird trift store challenge? So many random stuff there, I feel like we can really get creative. I bought a weaved wood basket, great perch for my cockatiel!

[@buggirl1015]

Can you make a video on how to introduse birds to dogs? That would be great/helpfull!!!

[@PatchworkDragon]

Thank you for this video! I am always trying to find safe things for my birds to explore. I hadn't even thought of baby toys!! Parrot toys are hard to find - baby toys are so much easier (and cheaper).

[@caseyreese6114]

Thank you for this video! I am going broke in bird toys! And Peeta doesn't even LIKE half of them! Thanks for the home made ideas!!!!

[@amie_-eu8fn]

This is awesome thank you !!

[@patrickgragg5602]

You are a fun teacher! Thank you for sharing these cool ideas

[@李兴旺-x5l]

thanks for your vides, love your brids.谢谢你~

[@richardbarksdale3810]

I love this video. Awesome job!

[@oopsieitshenka9600]

I just watched a 30 minute video about bird toys I don’t have a bird Im not getting one anytime soon What is this

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Welcome to my crazy life and thank you for watching!!!

[@Intialdragonr]

Cody is like who's that nice looking bird in the mirror

[@dawncastrogiovanni3915]

My cockatiel that passed away used to put his head in the bell and sing and talk. It was so cute to watch. At bedtime he did it but very quietly sort of like to put himself to sleep

[@cindymathisen9697]

MY FAVORITE PART WAS HOW EASY IT IS TO COLLECT, AND HAVE ON HAND WHAT IS NEEDED TO MAKE TOYS, AND HOW FUN IT IS FOR THE BIRDS TOO. MAKE IT A FLOCK AFFAIR.

[@FridayKetchup]

19:42 If you twist the loop sideways rather than opening like you did there Marlene, you'll find the integrity of the wire will be maintained better and the shape will hold. Thread the beads on and to close you just twist it back into place.

[@HeinHein-qc7mn]

nice video Marlene thanks

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

Thank you so much!!!

[@juanvanderberg4981]

my favorite part was when Kodi layed on his back, and i just want to ask what to do if you failed to convince someone to get a bigger parrot cage cause there is someone that i know that is keeping an African grey in a 17 inch high cage.

[@kameelaamer]

Thanks for all the great information Marlene!! I was just wondering, how often would you recommend rotating toys?

[@kiorabas9928]

Love your videos they are very helpful cause I am planning out on getting an african grey myself. I love how beautiful and intelligent they are.

[@oneproudmama1565]

Girl I just love u and ur channel

[@MLBOOG]

I need to find something to keep my bird busy for a good 30 minutes in the morning. He's so noisy first thing. This video was helpful. Thank you.

[@worshipcatalyst1]

I just bring mine to get ready with me. They like hanging out.

[@miracur3051]

My bird loves cat toys!

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

+Goldief The person of yeah they have some cool balls with bells and stuff!!!

[@chloesqueeks]

Cody upside down 😂

[@worshipcatalyst1]

My fave!

[@queenbee8135]

I'm getting a green cheeked conure an a couple of weeks. Can you please give me ideas on the best cages for them. Thank you in advance and God bless you!

[@dragoon650]

These are some epic ideas so are plastics safe? I have 2 macaws at work I wanna try and give toys cause buying them isn’t practical they destroy them too fast 😂😂

[@NinaFreya]

My birds also love bells and they love shredding paper! This video is super helpful!

[@jeannechiang6177]

Very practical and fun. Thank you!

[@ILIKEUALOT]

Great vid, thank you

[@Quickblades67]

Thanks for a very helpful video. My bird loves paper, and can play in a box for hours(as he chews it up)

[@supernoodle704]

When i was younger i had these large blocks of wood that you put together, some had holes and grooves and others you just had to balance. I think they would be amazing for birds. If only i could find out what they were called. Also, Toilet Paper Rolls, and the toilet paper! That Stuff Is AMAZING!!

[@jenniferallen8545]

this really helps thanks

[@MARLENEMCCOHEN]

I am so happy!! Thank you!

[@daniellefry2189]

[@sharonpothast6350]

I love this video

[@Eva-uu7go]

Marleen: Are you handsome? Cody: Yes Marleen: Yea, you're kinda handsome. Code: So now the truth comes out. I'm only "kinda" handsome.

[@THEE.apples]

I'm currently trying to teach my birds tricks. How do you keep them focus and from flying away?

[@jenniferbrady9252]

My parakeets love large mirrors and anything that makes sound

[@raspberrymojitogirldec]

great video much love to the birds too

[@vanessablythe]

you should make a toy for picasso and jersey, by adding wood balls to a string and adding a bell to the bottom!

[@Bullen_3]

Cody upside,that was adorable.

[@Lonnie_Rogers]

Third love ur vids Marlene keep them up also I am getting a cockatiel in 2 weeks.

[@katpatterson1665]
