That's what we call the toy I made for Benny over the weekend. Benny has been really good about spitting out items that are not edible, so I have been allowing him to play with bead toys when I have him in the house and can closely supervise. He keeps himself occupied for quite some time by sliding one bead off at a time, examining it and gleefully throwing it to the floor to hear the sound as it bounces on the ground.
Here are a few pictures of the massive blob which I am hoping will last him a little longer than the small wiffle ball kind. It took me 14 hours to make and is made of 72 strands.

Yes....I got permission from The Man to post this. He looks like a Jamacan cross dresser.

I had fun spelling out things like "Sum Crazy Turky U R" "Happy Feathers" "Anna Loves A Too" "Doin" "Doin" "Benny Bat Too" "I'm Cute" etc.

Here's a video playing with his new toy...but mostly being distracted because had the camera...which he likes to stick his powdery head on.

Disclaimer:
(I would strongly suggest not allowing any bird to have a toy like this unsupervised or not at all if they show tendancies of swalling anything that is not food related. Bhodi ate some toilet paper the other day so I officially have him banned from most things that aren't chewable wood toys. Also, anything with long strings can pose a strangulation hazard. I know most of the people here know what is ok to give their birds but this is a disclaimer to those who may be lurking.)
