Our cockatiel Sunny loves the toys Mommy (ME!) makes and I have fun making them for her. She especially enjoys foraging and shredding toys, so I came up with these three. The pouch is knit with kitchen cotton yarn and the wall and wreath are knit with natural seagrass cord. Once your toys are completed, you can stuff and embellish them with a variety of bird-safe items, such as shredded paper and paperstock, natural fiber finger traps, beads, buttons, spray millet, whatever you think your bird will love!

As with all my patterns, if you have any questions as you work up the designs, let me know and I’ll help you. My Email address is on the patterns.
