Parrot Cones
updated 05/13/11 09:42PM

Difficulty: easy

Materials:
* Straw fan (measures 11 1/2 inches)
* 1 or 2 Straw wreaths (2 1/2 inches) 
* Paper cone (optional)
* Shredded paper
* Treats or diet
* Jar lid (approx 2 1/2 inches)
* Raffia

Description

Steps:
1. Roll the fan into a cone shape, secure with the straw wreath.
2. The paper cone was used simply because I have a lot of them and I thought it would give a little extra to tear up. :) Slip paper cone inside straw cone.
3. Stuff the shredded paper with treats into the cone.
4. Use the lid to hold everything in. It should wedge tightly.
5. If you have a second wreath, slip it over the top and tie some raffia to it. Hang by handle or turn upside down and poke zippy tie through fan and fasten to the side of the cage.
