Box of Blocks (LG) drilled.
A box full of the three different sizes of blocks used to make the Large Macaw Toy. The Box of Blocks contains more than enough blocks (45+), in three different sizes, to make (four) of the Large Macaw Toys and then some. Tippy, my B&G is shown with the toy to give a better idea of it's size. The largest piece is 5" long, cut from a 2x3. The wood used is untreated pine. The picture with the box filled with blocks was from when the Box of Blocks was made up of seconds. Now the box includes the three sizes of blocks used to make the Large Macaw Toy and every block does have a hole drilled in it. I have seven parrots and three of them are large Macaws. Prior to making my own, I'd often spend a great deal of money for just one toy they'd demolish in as little as one day. Most had knots on the bottom and my parrots would always untie that knot, first thing (no idea why) and all the blocks would end up on the bottom of the cage. So I decided to make my own with an "O" ring at the bottom of a Nickle Plated chain. No more having all the blocks on the bottom of the cage within a day. Now my parrots are never without a hanging wooden chew toy for their demolition enjoyment. I have a couple of large wicker baskets I filled with an assortment of blocks on their play table. The blocks are not colored because I also found out my parrots did not care if the wood was colored or not. Having extra blocks makes it convenient to keep the chain full of blocks so it doesn't become dangerous with only a few blocks left at the end of the chain. I can be reached through Facebook Messenger if anyone has any questions. The 20" chain set is also available (20" length of Nickle Plated chain, a Nickle Plated Quick Link, and a Nickle Plated "O" Ring on the end of the chain).
