Handmade Hemp & Bead Toy

Materials:

Hemp
Baby Chain (to attach to bars)
Pony Beads
Toy Jacks
Buttons
Shoe Lace
Craft Lace (plastic)
Bell (taken from another old toy
Straws
Plastic Practice Golf Ball

I had fun making this toy and I plan on making more budgie toys in the near future! Cloud loves chewing on the hemp and trying to untie the knots to get the beads loose. He's such a character!

Did I Mention Corn on the Cob is Amazing!

I wish the picture quality was better, but what can I say Apple has some improvements to make on the iphone's front facing camera. I can't exactly take pics of myself with my Cannon T2i DSLR camera, so these will have to do for now. Also a reason most of Cloud's pics are with daddy, because I'm always behind the camera!

My New 5-level Playgym!

So Cloud got a little spoiled for his first Christmas! I got him this playygym from: http://www.birdscomfort.com/bird_playgym.html. It was a little pricy and took some assembly, but it was well worth it! Cloud LOVES his gym and spends a lot of his time on it. The toys are not included, I got some of them from Petsmart and Petco, and others I made myself. This gym is quite large so it took Cloud awhile to get use to the size, but once he warmed up to it he never wanted to leave!

My Lovely Abode

This is Cloud's house 24(l)x20(w)x24(h). I like to switch around the toys every month or so for variety, but I can never take our his four hanging balls or he'd have a heart attack! I added the perch on top and he really likes flying to it and chewing off the sand.
