Moving the page! Toothpick supplies is now Doodle's Doodads.

Hey guys! Facebook isn't letting me change the name of Toothpick Supplies, but IS letting me change this old page's name. So I'm repurposing this one into my toy shop's new name since I'm getting it started up again.

Welcome to Doodle's Doodads!
Safe & Actually Affordable hand made bird toys for Johnson city, TN pickup, or delivery to the US & Canada.

Hey guys! I’m wanting to get back in the toy making saddle! I’m looking to for 2-3 more folks to do $100 preorders (insured shipping is about ten bucks for US, 24 for Canada) so I can get in more toy parts! If you’ve ordered from me before then you know that my toy prices are worlds better than what you’ll find at your local pet store and even chewy (when they’re not having one of those killer sales, that is, lol).

They won’t be shipped out right away since I’ll have to order the parts and then make the toys, but then orders after that will go out right away 🙂

If you’re interested, please let me know!

Here are some toys I’ve made both last year and just recently!

I’m trying to the toys back up! Also I have to move and don't want to take these with me, haha.

Doodle is a very good supervisor & part tester

New toys added to the mystery box pile! Let me know if you'd like to order 🙂

26/08/2023

It's been a while!! I'll have two $50 mystery boxes available by Monday, one for small birds, one of medium birds. Free pickup in Johnson city or $8 for shipping!

Toothpick supplies is still on hiatus while I get some big stuff figured out. I've gotten a good idea of where I want to go from here, which is great! It just requires a dedicated space and finally getting a website up lol. In the mean time, I've been making toys for my own birds and the birds at the rescue! Frankie for scale on the single one. That one I like so much I think I'll be adding it to the line up once I get going again. It was made with a specific senior moluccan in mind and I can't wait for him to receive it 🙂

I love cockatoos so much. You just can’t get this from any other species

It would be neat to someday have toothpick supplies expand into an income source... but for now it's just to help cover the cost of buying toy supplies and make a little side cash for the rescue and myself 😂 my birds need their lifestyles.

02/12/2022

In my alien Jammies on this fine Friday afternoon rolling up these little crinkly paper things for the Christmas boxes! Supplies will be quite limited and proceeds will go to part restocking instead of the rescue this round. I'm excited!

Frankie is sitting quietly on her cage across the room from me. This is rare! She generally prefers to be very close to me and yells otherwise. Unless it’s bed time.

It’s nice! Now if only she’d play with that huge toy I made her 😒

My hips are bothering me but she’s helping

I'm putting together a $50 mystery box for some conures. If anyone wants in on some little toys, hit me up!

A friend of ours saw my creation for Frankie and requested one for Bea, the Goffins Cockatoo.

When we had Bea here at the rescue, it was short for Beatrice. We were told she was female. Bea is apparently a boy and they have renamed him an extremely fitting Beavil Knievel.

Bea is the most chaotic creature I've ever come into contact with and I adore him. He is fueled by mischief.

I hope this manages to last a few days 😂 I've got twine running all through it, at different layers, birdy bagels. no one string is too long. And the whole thing is strung up with MACAW GRADE CHAIN!

This is me right now concocting a toy I will call THE MERLIN, which will be my most expensive and elaborate toy. Currently that sits at $50 for a toy that even one of those termite cockatoos can get a few days out of. This one might run to double that or more just because of labor and the extra sturdy parts (reusable 👀).

BUT, I'm combining Merlin's (my macaw) favorite stuff into one MASSIVE ABOMINATION of a toy that will last even the world's most destructive cockatoo a FULL WEEK. A then normal birds god knows how long lol.

However, I am planning to use reusable stainless steel pieces for holding the important bulk of the toy, and then leather for more dangly parts. A variety of textures and even incorporating whole drilled nuts into the affair.

So the perks, as of this point in planning, include:

-2 reusable chains with links and stoppers for when the toy meets its end. 2 more toy bases for DIY'ing.

-2 reusable 11" stainless steel skewers, also with links, and twisty ends. For fresh fruit and veggie chunks, or use as a base for more toys.

-FOUR (4) total connection points to the cage. Made of STEEL. These will serve also as a base for dangly bits.

-those connection points will also be literally sewn or stabbed through the base of the toy to keep it from being chewed down.

-a wide variety of textures, including actual nuts, wood, mahogany pods, cork, cardboards, wooden beads, seagrass, paper, and plastic.

-designed to be extra extra structurally sound and have LAYERS ON LAYERS of activity that won't affect the toy's ability to stay hung up or support other parts.

Wish me luck! And feel free to post photos of your destructive little beasts in the comments! I'll share one of Merlin lol.

Sharing for the day crowd! If you see this, please share!

If we can get these all sold, chewy is actually having a sale on the 20lb bags of food we use, and we could get FOUR WHOLE BAGS! That's 80 pounds of waste-free food we seriously need, and your flock gets lovingly crafted toys for the best prices you'll find anywhere.

🚨 ✨FUNDRAISER MYSTERY TOY BOXES✨🚨

Please ignore that my product staging is horrible! 🤡

--------------
EDIT; 3 boxes claimed, 4 remaining! And chewy has an extra sale going on our big bags of 100% edible food. If we can get all of these boxes sold, that's exactly enough for us to get 80 POUNDS of bird food!

Here at Northeast Tennessee Avian Rescue and Rehabilitation we have about 14 parrots being surrendered in the next week or so. We're also running quite low on funds already and are in need of food for all size birds (Hari Tropimix!). I've put together these mystery toy boxes to raise money for the rescue. All the toys inside were hand made by myself and there's a mix of textures, colors, natural, and unnatural in every box. Foot toys in med-large boxes, too.

Please comment below to claim your box and then I will message you to get your contact info. We use PayPal! Shipping is calculated and is generally between 7 and 10 dollars because I use PirateShip to get my usps labels. Hence the random boxes I'm using. Savin' money!

Photos included are examples of what your box could contain.

(Med and large refer to general bird size appropriate for the contents)

BOX 1; Medium-large $55

BOX 2; medium-large $50

BOX 3; medium $48 (taken; tonya)

BOX 4; medium $50

BOX 5; medium $55(taken; Katrina)

BOX 6; jenday-gray size $32

BOX 7; jenday-gray size $32 (taken, Ray)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go remove all of the pieces of carrot Doodle has scattered across my couch and pant leg.

Thank y'all so much!
