Hi Karen,

Our package arrived today! How delighted we are with these BEAUTIFUL toys. They are truly charming and lovely.

I presented each one to Her Majesty as I unwrapped them from the friendly yellow tissue, letting her inspect and taste test them. You'll be pleased to know that they ALL have passed and have been granted the Royal Approval. Gracey is smitten with them.

Many many thanks for these wonderful treasures. And for the special care that is so apparent in your crafts.

Best to you,

Lisa Arney and Gracey

Hi Karen,

Just wanted to let you know that our order arrived yesterday, and we are so pleased with everything. The care that you have taken in both creating the wonderful toys, and the way you shipped it so nicely was very impressive. I have received orders from other companies where the toys were all crammed in a box and mostly broken by the time they arrived. My husband summed it up nicely when he said it was just like Christmas!

Montego got the “leather locks” to play with first. As I told you, he’s usually very afraid of new toys for a while before he begins to get the courage to check them out, and acts almost paralyzed when you put something new in his cage. Within the first minute, he was already playing with his “leather locks”. We couldn’t hardly believe it!

We hung the “totem pole” and “starry eyed with buttons” on their parrot jungle, and they both are crazy about the “totem pole”!, They haven’t really discovered “starry eyed” yet, they’ve never had any “stuffed” toys, and I don’t think they know what to make of it yet. But when Cozzie discovers that it has buttons on it, she’s going to love it!

The bonnet toy is so adorable; it’s going to be hard to give that one to Cozzie and watch her eat it!

I am so impressed with your creations, from the choice of items on each piece, the complexity of the completed toys, and the hand drawing. You truly show pride in what you do, and you’ve gained long term clients. I hope you’re really young, because these two birds are expected to live another 77 years!

From the bottom of their little birdie hearts, Cozzie and Montego send their thanks and love.

Cindy

P.S. We plan to take some pictures of them playing with their toys and we’ll send some to you.

Hi Karen

I received my order today and Casper was as excited as I about opening the package.

It is always great seeing your creations and how Casper chooses his favorites. I

look forward to seeing your new toys and always have a running list going for my next

order which will probably be soon.

Thanks, Phyllis and of course, Casper

3/10/08

Got the toys today and Zoey just loves them! I'll try to get some pictures with her playing with them tonight. You make really quality toys, I can tell the time and effort that go into each one. I put them in her cage after they arrived this morning, and Zoey actually chose to go back in her cage and play with them rather than have her 'out of cage' time with me this morning! I can tell she will have many hours enjoying them. Thanks very much, I'm sure we will be ordering again in the future!

Hi Karen,

Ringo's new toys came in the mail today!

It's too bad the internet doesn't have a way to touch and feel your creations. I thought the Silly Spring Perch was cool on your website, but when I actually got it in my hands it is AWESOME! When I order from you I ALWAYS get WAY MORE than I expected....such a nice surprise!

Thanks for taking the time to make such neat things, I can't imagine how bored Ringo would be without you!

Rose (and Ringo!)

2/25/08

Hi Karen! The toys for Gracie, Zuzu and the rest of my flock arrived today, and once again, they are a work of art. We're going to have some happy beaks around here!

The way you put your heart into your work shows, and that is one of the reasons I keep coming back. I'm proud to be one of your customers, and we'll definitely be back for more!

Thank you everything, and especially the extra goodies!

Until next time,

Lynne

I have a Quaker Parrot named Ringo. He is the ruler of the "flock", I have no other parrots, so that means he is the ruler of ME

I have found that the only toys Ringo really ENJOYS playing with are the ones I get from you. He has a cage full of toys, and plays with them all...but the ones he totally tears apart are yours. Especially item# 253 "Jingles", the one I ordered this time is his 3rd or 4th one he has gone through. It takes him awhile to tear it apart, but boy when he gets started he works on that thing until there is nothing left but the hanger. Please don't ever discontinue that one or I will never hear the end of it from Mr. Ringo!!

Thanks again for getting Ringo's toys out to me so quickly!

Rose (and Ringo)

Hi Karen,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Thank you again for making Fredericks Christmas a very happy one again this year! He is truly enjoying his new presents that Santa (you), made for him. He was so excited and went right to having fun with them.

He is a happy Parrot!

Hi Karen

Just wanted to send a short note to thank you for making such awesome toys. Pyper opened them on Christmas and one of them (with the foam material flowers) has been chewed to bits. We weren't sure if he would like that material but he's had so much fun and has gotten a great beak workout. We look forward to looking at your new toys and ordering again when our stash gets low. Have a very Happy New Year!

Karen,
Thank you for the extra gifts with Lucy's order. The toys
are amazing and Lucy is thrilled with them. Her too favorites are
the one with the twigs around a big plastic donut, and the one with
the dinosaurs and lots of knots.
Thanks and best wishes for a happy holiday season.
Susan

Hi Karen,

I just wanted to let you know that our package of toys
arrived today and everything is AWESOME! Our flock is
going to be so, so happy with everything. Your toys
are just incredible!

Thank you for everything, including the extra goodies
you included. We will be back again for some more
soon!

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Lynne

Just wanted you to know that we absolutely LOVE the toys we ordered. My guys
went right to them! My husband was very impressed with the quality of the toys and we can't wait to place another
order. We'll be talking to you soon after the holidays as we now have to
shop for our human kids. Have a Blessed Holiday Season!

11/2/07

Hi Karen,
Thank you for Caesar’s treats. He is enjoying the large toy a lot and spends time playing with it. I switch out his toys so he doesn’t get bored. :) He loves the little nuts/bolts you sent. He has been apprehensive of the little critters, but has finally warmed up to them.
Thank you again for these great toys. You definitely know the flocks like. :) Caesar wants to give you a big “thank you”.
Have a great day. I look forward to ordering more toys again.
Take care,
Peggy J

10/25/07

Hi Karen,
The toys are wonderful, I was shocked at how big the one wreath toy is, it's a piece of art. Thank You again for your outstanding workmanship. Not only do the birds love to play with your toys they are great to look at. Hope you like the pics.

Jeneva

Hi Karen,

Here are two photos of Bonita with her "Goodie Ball" toy.

Her new toys are keeping her busy ALL day. I have only given her 2.
The next two will be alternated in about a week or so.

Warmest wishes,
Gloria, Croatia

9/19/07

Hi Karen

I was finally able to get a few pictures of Kasey with one of his new toys. He plays with it and hangs from it all of the time!

I will definitely let you know when he needs more toys.

Thanks again!

9/14/07

Hi Karen!

I wanted to let you know the toys arrived today...they are beautiful!!!! The hat was bigger than I anticipated!! Thank you for the little goodie bag of free things....that was so nice. I'll send you pictures of all the birds.

Thanks again! The toys are great!!!

Carolyn

9/8/07

Hi Karen: I'm sorry I haven't responded right after i received the toys but i wanted you to know they did arrive safe and sound. Well that lasted for about 5 minutes. My biggest dilemma was who to give what toy to LOL. Not that it mattered cuz they all went into each others cages to play with them and i cant tell you how much they love them. Your a genius with these toys. I TOLD you that you were going to hear a lot from me. So much so that i will never buy another toy at the pet store again.

Cant wait to receive the next shipment!

Alyssa

Hi Karen;

I just wanted to tell you how much Lester is enjoying his new toys!! I am so glad that I found you. He especially likes the one you made with the long pieces of colored wood.

The toys were great quality. We are thrilled with them.

Thanks Again,

Elizabeth, Rockland, Maine

7/30/07

Hi, Karen.

The order from you just arrived, and I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am with the toys. I thought they were cute when I placed my order, but in person they're even better. They're great! I know my flock will love them, and they asked me to thank you for their extra goodies, too. I'll definitely be returning to your store when I'm ready for new toys.

Thanks again,

Wendy

7/27/07

Hi Karen

I received Casper's toys yesterday, and he is happy and chomping away at his goodies.

It is always fun when your package arrives because there are so many fun toys to

look at, and I think I enjoy them as much as Casper. I will definitely keep checking

for all the new items on the web site.

Thanks so much for the quick delivery.

Phyllis

7/17/07

Dear Karen,
I have received the toys and am really pleased with them all. (but not as
pleased as Mr. Jingles). Thank you so much for the free foot toys too he was
spoilt for choice and didn't know which one to play with first-he was like a
child at Christmas time. Even down to the plastic string you used to tie the
gifts with-he loved it all.
Thanks again Karen and keep up the good work.
look forward to your wonderful toys in the very near future
kind regards.

Mandy & Jon & especially Mr. Jingles

Karen -

What a surprise when I came home a few minutes ago. A package on the front porch with the three great toys, plus the gift. Sierra is happily beginning the disassembly of your hard work as I write this (I think it is the "Prickly Pear").

The largest (I think that is the Waterfall) intimidated him a bit when I showed it to him, but with it's individually knotted beads (which he loves to untie) I think it will become his favorite when it replaces the current one.

Thank you sooo much for all your hard work and the prompt "manufacture" and quick shipping.

I hope you have a good vacation, and I will be ordering from you again.

Jeneva & Sierra

4/29/07

Hello Karen,

Charmaine

3/16/07

Hi Karen,

I received my order on Wednesday. Ringo was so EXCITED to get his new "Jingles" toy. That one is his favorite. I threw out the remainder of his old one (only half the bagel was left of the whole toy!) and put the new one in....he went right to it and started working on the papery beads. He has gone pretty nuts with the foam parts of the "Rainbow Crystal" toy, so I know he will love the other toys I ordered as well!

Thanks for the GREAT toys Karen!!

Ringo and Rose

1/25/07

Hi Karen!

Our package arrived today and once again, the toys are
perfect! Nolan and Nikki have been playing and
chewing on them all afternoon!

Thanks so much for everything, including the extras.

Lynne

1/19/07

Hi Karen, I was soo excited to get home and see the BIG box to open!!

I am so pleased with it all, the biggest hit off the bat was those slinky looking toys!!

My Solo the Too was flying around with it in his mouth! lol

I took some pictures late last night, I hope some turned out great!!

Once I download them I will send some to you :)

Second fav was the long crazy braided one!!

Look for pictures this weekend!!

A very pleased customer ~ Kristine Thomas

1/13/07

Hi Karen,

WOW...I'm at a loss for words! Your toys are
incredible, even better than I could have expected!
Nolan loves his Shaggy Mop Swing. I put it in his
cage and he went right to it, and even snuggled up to
it while he took his nap!

Thank you so much for the extra goodies! Nolan loves
everything.

Your quality and workmanship are awesome. I will
ordering again very soon for Nolan as well as for
Nikki!

Thanks again for everything!

Lynne :o)

I am very impressed with TLC toys. Our Goffin (Edith-Anne) is thoroughly enjoying your hand made toys. They are truly unique and very well made. They are fun for our bird to destroy and manipulate and they require time and thought for her to get through. There is plenty of playtime value in these toys. Also, thanks for making shipping to Canada so easy as well. All God's best to you in 2007.

Hi Karen,

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful toys. Our babies are playing with them right now.

Wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday.

Thank you

Don and the flock

12/15/06

Hi Karen -

Thank you so much! I'm sure Piper will have a great Christmas now. Your great toys are the only ones that

last more than a few minutes with him. Carl was searching which one he could get for Christmas morning.

Enjoy the holiday and have a great New Year - TLC Parrot Toys deserves to have continued great success!!

Best Regards,

Flo

12/15/06

Hi Karen,

Just received the marvelous package of toys for Zoe, my African Tinmeh Grey. Zoe will be in heaven playing with these unique toys. She loves to climb, swing upside down and chew. Thank you for your great imagination. Have a safe and lovely holiday season.

Linda

12/11/06

Karen

Thanks so much! I know the birds will appreciate having your toys while we are gone. I appreciate that they have many parts and lots of knots, so they last longer. Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday and a blessed 2007.

Gratefully,

Susan

12/6/06

Karen, I really appreciate how fast I got my order. As usual the toys are wonderful. I've about decided to just give my sulfur crest the box with the tissue inside. He has played with the box from the last order since it arrived. He spends hours climbing in and out and tossing things in and out. In face today I just set the box in the room and he worked it until he finally got it open and was able to pull out a toy. Go figure! He does play with the toys when in his cage but if he is out most often he is fooling with the box. so today he got a brand new one with really beautiful purple paper. Have a blessed Christmas and a great new year. Thanks for the work and love you put into these toys for our babies. I feel blessed to have found you.

Thank you, Beth

11/22/06

Thanks, Karen. As we count our blessings, we include in them finding you and your wonderful toys. They are different than any others on the market, and appeal to even our hard-to-please Hyacinth macaw, Cosmo. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Susan

11/ 14/ 06

Karen,

My stuff came.

Wow it is very cool.

I hate to be a bird nerd but..... it is exciting (for me ).

I'm sure the bird will love it too.

I'll order again.

Thanks and have a Merry Christmas.

Thanks so much again! Pip Squeak got an early taste of Christmas! She is one happy caique thanks to you! Ill send pictures soon.

Joanne

9/17/06

Thank you Karen. Our parrot LOVES her toys. She has been a little leery of new toys in the past, but she took to the stuffed balls and the inch worm right away. She's a Timneh African Grey.

Heidi

9/17/06

Hi Karen,

I must tell you -- Cosmo, our Hyacinth macaw came to us at the age of 6 years from a home where he had no toys. We offer him many, but he hardly plays with anything. However, after about 3-4 weeks of leaving the "rod'" toy (I don't remember its full name, but you probably know which one I am talking about) in his cage near the place where he sits, he chewed it up, little by little! We were thrilled, so I ordered another one!

Thanks,

Susan

9/10/06

Just wanted to let you know the babies got their stuff. They are just in heaven right now.

Thank you so much, and you will be hearing from us again!

Sharon

9/9/06

Hi Karen.. I just received your toys and they're absolutely beautiful.. I love them and I'm sure my babies will too.. The way you package everything is so perfect.. i will be ordering from you again very soon.. Thank you so much !!!!

Symone

9/8/06

It was like Christmas today at my house, your package arrived! I couldn't
believe that you put so much handwork into the mountain climber....it's
amazing. I'm sure Julio will get hours of chewing delight out of all the
things you added, especially the wood and plastics. If he can spend 2 hours
with one plastic airplane, one can only imagine what he'll do with this
super duper hanging. Also loved Little Miss Gardener, she's much cuter in
person. Thanks also for remembering that I wanted a lavender pot of gold.
This is about the 3rd bucket I've tried including one that was so big that I
can wash food and water bowls in. Yours is the perfect size for Julio. I'm
happy to present Julio with your works of art...I'm sure it'll be just like
Christmas in September!
Take care,
Sylvia

Hi Karen -

Love my new toys. I enjoy all my TLC toys, but beads are my favorites!! You were

really fast - Carl just told me they were coming! Thank You!

Sincerely,

Piper

7/31/06

Karen,

I received my package yesterday and both Julio and I loved the noodle necklace. I couldn't believe how fast it arrived. Your work is so meticulous and creative. I will be ordering more, but must pace myself! Also, thank you for the extra goodies. That's so thoughtful of you.

We look forward to playing with your beautiful work and building a relationship,

Sylvia

7/30/06

Hello, Karen,

Just a line to let you know that the package arrived today. The toy is beautiful. Thank you very much for both the toy and the free gift. I expect to get in touch will you again in the near future.

Thanks again,

Patricia

7/29/06

Hi Karen,

We received our toys on Thursday and Ruby, the queen of the Amazon, barely let me hang up her toys before she started playing with them. The rest of the flock waited until I finished and then took their time exploring the new toys. You did a great job, as expected and I Thank You for your beautiful craftsmanship.
Diane K.

7/28/06

Karen, the postman just delivered the toys for Copper, our blue-fronted Amazon, this afternoon. The smaller one is for the perch she stays on during the day so I gave it to her immediately and she loves it. I'm saving the other one for next week to keep her occupied while we're gone for a few days and she has a sitter coming in. Your toys are the best and I won't wait as long this time to order more.

Thanks,

Lanetta

We received the toys and they are just beautiful....Jasmine is
thrilled....thank you so much for your creativity!

Regards, Andre

7/11/06

Dear Karen, Darby and Zeke loved their toys (to the point of destruction!) They are beautiful and it's so much fun to watch them play with them! We will definitely know where to get their Christmas presents! Keep up the wonderful work!

Have a blessed day,

Anastasia

Karen,

This is Jasmine, another happy customer!

Thanks, Andre

Hi Karen-- Received the toys yesterday, and Sogno is already busily attacking them! No doubt I will be ordering more soon. Thanks so much! Have a great weekend; I am off to work!

Roberta, Bella, and Sogno

7/8/06

Hi Karen,

Thank you so much for the pretty toys. You truly have out done yourself.

These are by far the most beautiful toys I have ever seen.

I have to wonder if they are for me or them, ha ha.

I can't let them have them until I take pictures.

They will have to wait a bit until I'm ready to let them go.

The pink tissue paper they were packed in was the icing on the cake.

You are the best! Thanks again for getting them here so quick.

Peggy

7/6/06

Hi Karen,

I have had much success with your toys as they keep my babies entertained enough to stay away from my furniture

(they’re cage doors are open during the day so they may play on top of their cages)

When I get some pictures, I’ll try to send them. Thanks for being so creative with your toys.

I have never seen anything that compares to the quality or the “fun factor” for my babies!

Sincerely,

Michele,CA

Karen,

This is our Hyacinth Macaw "McCloud" celebrating Lionel's birthday! He is another happy TLC customer! Thanks so much!

Teresa :)

6/15/06

Karen,

Billy got his order and loved his toys---I added a couple of bells to the preening toy and can hear him playing with it early in the mornings before I uncover him! He really loves it. He has really eaten up all the little foot toys...they're just about all gone!

Thanks again for all the joy!

Cindy

Hi Karen,

Here is a photo of Indigo, our big boy, before he completed the total and joyful destruction of the top part of the Dream catcher Deluxe and chewed through all the yummy grapevines!

(By the way, we still have a bunch of toys stashed for Corky, but after seeing how very Much Indy likes his Dream catcher and swings and swings in it, we felt it well worth the expense to go ahead and get more "back ups" of this, his Favorite thus far! You are a genius!)

Rosalind,

6/4/06

Hi Karen! My husband and I came across your website the other day and we have to tell you how impressed we are! We both commented on how much care you take to make these bird toys...they FAR exceed any toy we've been buying from mass marketers! Not only do you put so much into them but there is so much on each toy for birds to do. Most toys you buy at pet stores or through catalogs have one or two options of play for the bird. Your toys are all encompassing!! They're great! We are going to be placing an order (we love each toy, it's so hard to choose!)

Our DYH, Zeke is so easy to buy for, he'd play with anything so I'm sure he's going to love the toys we've picked out for him!

Thank you so much for your time,

Anastasia

5/30/06

Hi Karen,

My Jenday/Gold Capped conure mix, Miak, who is writing this with me, sends his thanks for making great toys!

I am going to be visiting your website in the future for more! I've told some friends too.

Sincerely, Tyler

5/28/06

Hi Karen -

Piper and I say "Thank You". He (1 yr. old Cape) really loves his toys!

Best Regards,

Florence

5/21/06

Karen,

I wanted to thank you and tell you how much the birds are loving their new toys! It is such a treat for my birds to have new things, as I do feel like my guys get tired of seeing the same things over and over. Plus, yours have so many parts that they actually last! You do such a lovely job of communicating with customers. You can be sure to receive many more orders from us in the future.

Thanks again. Have a great week!

Susan

5/9/06

Hi Karen,

Just received your order today. I swear the birds know the package is for them just by looking at the box. And as I hung toys like Christmas ornaments on the cages and play stands an eerie silence came over the bird room as each bird explored their new toys. I also wanted to let you know that when one bird is done with his or her favorite part of the toy, I rotate them to the next bird so that every part of the toy gets destroyed. Even the box you send them in doesn't go to waste, Eddie my Tag loves destroying boxes, which has cured him of feather picking habit, he almost has a full set of tail feathers since I brought him home 3 months ago. Thanks Again for your lovingly, handmade toys, I know my birds know the difference and so do I.

Diane

4/29/06

Hi Karen.I received your package with the bird toys in it yesterday. My birds just LOVE them. I am very happy with the quality and attention to detail that you have put into each one. BINGO..is a blue&Gold Macaw. He is 4 years old. He is a big clown and loves going places and meeting new people. He is very friendly and will let anyone hold him. He is very mechanically inclined and can take any gadget apart in seconds. He can even take chain link that some toys are stung on apart. I'm glad your toys are on rope because he can't take that apart. They have all been having fun trying to untie the knots in the ropes. I also like the fact that you put a knot after each piece, really makes it last longer.

KIWI...is a double yellow head Amazon. She runs the place. She will tell the other birds to "get back up there" if they get off their play top and start getting into mischief. She is my best talker and the smartest bird I have. My daughter is a cheerleader and when she practices her cheers in the living room, Kiwi learns the whole cheer right away and is always chanting different cheers as well as talking non stop. She is also very outgoing and friendly and loves to meet new people. Her taste in toys is kind of hit or miss. She has been having great fun with the toys I got from you, so I'd say there a hit.

DR. GREY...is a Congo African Grey. He is 1 1/2 years old. He has always been more like a cockatoo than a grey. He is a big, cuddly baby, who always wants to be sitting with his mom. When I give them new toys DR. Grey likes to observe the other two playing with them first and then he'll play with them. When I went to bring them in from their outdoor aviary, he was hanging upside down playing with the toy with the green smiley face.

Again, thank you for the great toys, the bonus gift, and we will definitely shop with you again.

Sincerely,

Bingo, Kiwi, Dr.Grey, & Kim

Hi Karen,

How nice to hear from you...thank you! "Caleb" my 2 year old Meyer's parrot didn't have much interest in toys,

till Feb. 26, when my two Black Headed Caique sisters, "Maddie" and "Maizie" came home. They are 8 months old,

and they are TOY CRAZY!

Caleb seems like he is "learning" to play with toys, suddenly. (He is re-homed, and a "reject" from his first owner,

so came to me with issues, depression being one of them).

I also have 2 year old sister Lineolated Parakeets, "Bonita" and "Bijou" who aren't much into toys, but they love to climb and 'hang' around.

They All love your toys, that's why I've ordered more of them (Actually, I really wanted to order "one of each" of

your toys, but had to hold myself back, money wise....your toys are my favorites of all toy manufacturers....

they are all really wonderful and darling).

Good morning Karen,

Thank you for the wonderful toys.
Binky my goffin cockatoo loves your toys (wood & plastics)......spend hours
destroying them!

Looking forward to the next order to arrive.

Best Regards,
Mary

Much aloha Karen!
Will keep in touch as we work and play our ways through the greatest toys yet! You are a genius at putting together a nice variety of textures, colors and shapes for each toy.

Received my order today and am extremely pleased. Your toys are wonderful. I've been buying toys for 11 yrs and these are some of the most creative I've seen. I especially like the larger toys I received for my umbrella. She is a voracious chewer and will not fool with hard woods such as manzinita or some ofthe other hard woods that the usual larger toys have on them. Unfortunately she can devour one sometimes in a couple of days. These have so much on them and it takes her a little longer which certainly helps my pocketbook. My sulfur crest and timneh like the toys with the smaller pieces. Thanks again and I'm so glad I stumbled onto your site. I will definitely recommend it to others.

Hi Karen,

Fredericks toys arrived today safe and sound and thank you! He loves them!
So far he is seemed to enjoy the free gift best (thank you so much for that too!!) and that paper square thing inside of it, he really liked taking it all apart, I guess he is just like his Mom, he likes a good bargain. He seems to love that foot toy so I will have to keep that in mind with my next order.

I have attached some picture of him. He loves going into my husbands shirt pocket every so often to see if he has left a toothpick down in the bottom of it so diving down inside a pocket is one of his favorite silly things.

Have a nice weekend!

Hello Karen,

I received my order yesterday. WOW! The pictures on your website are great, but they don't do justice to what I actually received!! I can't wait to add them to Ringo's cage, he will be busy for quite a while with these!!

I'll send pictures soon!

Thanks so much!

Hi Karen,

I wanted to let you know that the toys arrived Friday and Pepper is already enjoying them. We are waiting a bit on the big dream catcher as it is a bit intimidating J. Thank you for the prompt service.

Karen,

Thank you so much. The swing looks great. Once we hang it, it will probably take 1-2 months before Winnie goes near it. LOL he's always been like that. Took about 3 weeks til he put paulie rope in his mouth.

Thank you so much. I got a real kick out of the sayings on the swing.

All The Best,

Elaine

Hi Karen! My babies loved their toys so much that I had to get more so I could hang them at their different play sites outside thier cages as well. When everyone comes out to play in the morning, all they would do is go into each others cages to see the neat toy they had. They all love your toys! Your toys make me wish I was a bird. I loved your last bunch of toys you sent. I am looking forward to the next bunch! Thank you so much. I need to take some more pictures of all my babies because I just added a new baby to my flock. I got a male parrotlet and named him Wigit. Thank you sooooo much for your creative talent.

I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Love Jan

Karen,

I was so impressed with your line of toys. I have a Indian Ringneck and a lovebird that love to chew soft wood and soft plastic as well as tear paper things apart. Your toys are just what I was looking for. I can't wait to see them and have my bird tear them up.: ) Thank You for your E-mail! I will be waiting to hear from you.

Hi Karen -

"Piper" and I thank you. This is "Piper's" first Christmas, he turns 6 mos. on December 29. He is feisty and really enjoyed the first two toys

his Dad (Me) got for him from you before he even arrived! I decided the current toy would be enjoyed more than a

stocking like his brother (my dog) is getting! (LOL)

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Hope you enjoy your break from designing/building toys - Does your

job mean you're "Parrot Santa"?

Best regards,

Carl

Believe me, you are the one that deserves a thank you. I got the first box today and am assuming I will receive the second one tomorrow.

I was so impressed by your toys. You can definitely see the work & dedication that you put into them.

I will pass on your website to my clients & associates.

Sincerely..................Charlene

P.S. We have African greys, a mini macaw, conures, lovebirds & grey-cheeked parakeet.

We board a lot of birds, both large & small.

Hi Karen

I LOVE the new swing...and what a great free toy! As soon as I took it out of the box (the swing) my sengeal was reaching for it so I put it in his cage right away. Alas, he is such a cranky boy lately (puberty, molt ) he hasn't quite been adventurous enough to get ON it...but he will soon and I'm sure he will LOVE it too. He sleeps next to it and I hope it is a comfort...sure looks like one!

thank you so much.

Hi Karen

Here is Keiko, my Hahns Macaw, enjoying one of your toys. She absolutely loves them! I hope the photos came out okay. It's hard to keep her still!

Received the toys today and our blue fronted amazon loves the first one I put in there. I'm saving the other one for another day. She has lots of toys that we alternate as long as they last, but it's nice to have some that are different from the others she usually gets. I'll check back when I'm ready to buy more.

Thanks again,

Here's a picture of our adopted Blue and Gold named "Mason".

He's attempting to steal some peanut butter from alongside his cage.
