Whoever said rawhide was only good for dogs was wrong!
- Take a rawhide sandal (100% natural rawhide -- avoid the colored ones).
- Attach a twine loop at the top; you can add a quick link there if you want.
- Take about three or four inches (or more) of cotton rope (if colored it should be with food coloring) and attach it to the top of the rawhide sandal.
- Knot twine on each side of the rawhide sandal and string beads (plastic or wood).
- You can add more stringed beads if you wish -- just make sure that the twine is attached and is solid.
- rawhide is very hard to chew through for smaller parrots such as cockatiels, so this makes for a very resistant toy. Only replace the string and beads when necessary.
