My second of two Sidewalk Sale (SWS) orders arrived this week (on Tuesday I think?)
I took many pictures the day the box showed up, but because there were many pictures, it took me a while to go through processing them (mostly brightening and cropping, depending on how each picture came out originally) and I did a few each day. After I had started taking a few pictures, and realizing the volume of toys I had, I did start grouping some of the toys in one shot, when they were small enough to allow it, but I started that too late and was left with bigger toys soon enough, that needed their own picture.
There were two aspects to Thing for Wings (T4W) SWS; a percentage off the order, which varied with how much the order amounted to, and the Red light specials (RLS). I didn't partake in the first part of the sale (having ordered the toys I wanted a few weeks prior to the sale), but did partake in the RLS. Specific deals would be posted, up for a certain (disclosed) amount of time or until they ran out. I've gotten pretty good at "sniping" deals, although there might have been one or two that I've missed.
In any case, in no particular order, here are the toys that I did get.

Pre-Sidewlk Sale Things for Wings order
I placed this order with Things for Wings because our supply of TOP pellets was starting to get low and I wanted to ensure I received it before I ran out. Therefore, even though I was made aware of the dates for the Sidewalk Sale over at Avian Avenue, I didn't wait. In fact, the sale might have prompted me to actually go forward with the order there and then, as I knew the volume of orders made during the sale would make the wait longer. And because I was going to pay the ridiculous Canada Post shipping charges anyway, I thought I may as well add toys - I did still have a 15% off T4W toys coupon, which I got at a previous sale, so why not use it?
The box showed up earlier this week, but given it was a rather crazy time at work, I didn't get around to taking pictures until today.
When I opened the box, there were a few items I didn't recognize - more so, because it I apparently had no recollection of what I ordered, other than for five items (and two of those were food related and one was some cleaning solution we were in need of).
So with the help of my invoice, here is what was in the box!
Watermelon Picnic basket
This is the toy that puzzled me the most. I absolutely had no recollection of having ordered something with a basket. To be fair, I thought I might as well try some toys that I hadn't ordered before and this one would be appreciated by a number of the birds so it made sense that I added it to my shopping basket. But makes no sense that I couldn't even remember that.
Catching Flies
While I didn't remember that I had ordered it, I wasn't nearly as surprised to see this in the box. I had an "oh yeah" moment when I saw it. Léa will also be very happy.
Léa's toy
I had to take all the other toys out before being 100% convinced of what this toy was. I remembered I had ordered one, but it never looks exactly the same from one order to the next, which I have no problem with, as it always looks awesome and always includes materials that fit the requirements I had given when I first ordered the custom made toy. This is one of my favourite renditions of it, and I'm sure Ms. Big Beak will love it too.
Sunflower Woods
Another toy I didn't remember ordering, one that didn't leave me as puzzled as the Watermelon Picnic Basket but more so than the Catching Flies. Again, a toy that quite a few birds will enjoy, and might actually be shared by one of the smaller Pois (for initial destruction) and Léa (for the harder pieces of wood). I believe this also fell under the "let's try a toy I haven't ordered before" category, although I'm not sure I didn't get it once before...
Cork Barkunkle
I remember looking at these and debating about possibly ordering some, but didn't remember if I had gone through with it. Apparently I did! And I'm happy I did!
Cork Pick and Chip Stack
I knew I ordered these, as they were a success with all of the smaller Pois. They don't last too long, but the toy is very reasonably priced, if you consider the cork and the time it takes to cut the wood, so well worth it.
Wild Tulips
This is another one that falls clearly under the category of toys I thought I should give a try...then to forget about ordering it. This toy has Shade written all over it!
Just a Watermelon Toy
I look at this, and it makes sense that I ordered it. But like it's fellow watermelon toy, I don't recall having done so. I apparently loved the watermelon collection (I will have one or two more items coming thanks to the Sidewalk Sale) but I'm bad at remembering them. And I don't know why, some of these are so well suited for my guys!
That was it for the toys. Here is the "miscellaneous" stuff -
Mango Ginger Minis
Yes, that is some Avian Organics food! While T4W has been carrying some AO products for some time, I believe for the most part, they were products that were designed solely to be distributed by T4W (I could be wrong). However, as earlier this month, AO is no longer handling retails sails and T4W is now carrying a larger selection of the AO products, including a flock favourite, Mango Ginger Minis! While I was sad to see one of my favourite parrot-related business "close" in a way, I'm happy that I can still get AO food from T4W, which also will allow me to maximize shipping (include the food with a toy order and just have the one shipment coming my way!)
TOPs (10lbs bag)
Given the size of my flock, it makes sense to buy the largest bag available, and the only place I've seen it in Canada is at T4W. It lasts about three months (we replace pellets in the cages every second day) and keep the rest in the freezer.
Finally, the last thing that was part of this order was some AviClean concentrate solution. I didn't take a picture, as I had taken it out of the box when I opened it and asked the Boy to put it away before I took pictures.
And that is it!

Léa and the Chunky Halloween Kitty toy
Only when I looked up the name of the toy, did I realize it was a little out of season. But, given I asked for the toy to be left mostly "natural" instead of being dyed, it really doesn't look like a Halloween toy! (Not that the birds would care either way.)
This is a Things for Wing toy.
I did try to also get pictures of Zuri playing with this toy, but when he saw the camera come out, he stopped and started to pose nicely instead.

My favourite picture - it's all about the pose
The look of concentration
The look of surprise (probably when she first noticed the camera)
Going back for more!

A "recent" order from Things for Wings
Recent being very loosely used here - it is the most recent order I made for parrot related items and it did arrive in December, but I've definively had the things for a couple of weeks now!
The order included some Christmas themed toys for the birds (which they got on Christmas) and a 10lbs of TOPs pellets. Given the bag of food is not that interesting to look at (and is extremely reflective and doesn't photograph that well), I didn't snap a picture, but here are the toys:
Elf - Shade and Joey each got one of these -
Hats Off to Tookie - Zuri, Petey and Pixel got these -
Christmas Baby Buttons - for Piper
Country Santa - for Léa
Not much is left of the toys given to the smaller Pois; after all, they were mostly made of easy to destroy materials, but were also thoroughly enjoy. I don't always buy stuff with mostly balsa or cork, because of how quickly the toys will get decimated (pine gets destroyed but takes a little longer), but once in a while, it is a nice treat for them.

One day sale over at Things for Wings
Things for Wings is having a one day sale today, 15% off. There might be a few exceptions (toy parts I think), but it is the perfect time to stock up on some T4W original toys! I did my shopping earlier, and got a few T4W toys, as well as some TOPs pellets and a few cotton perches (always good to have a few on hand).
As I said, the sale is only on today, so hurry on over! And, if you haven't already, you can "like" their Facebook page to get more insider news.

Toy order - Things for Wings Red Light Specials
Two week-ends ago, Things for Wings (T4W) held a week-end sale. referred to as the "Red light specials". Essentially, every hour a new item would be on sale, with unknown quantities (to the buyers) pre-set and once they ran out, either a new item would take it's place or there was nothing until the following hour. As well, there were lightning rounds, with more coveted/rare items, which were up for a shorter amount of time, but really, they sold out before the time ran out.
The sale started Friday evening and ended Sunday evening. I did very well, as far as my wallet was concerned Friday evening and most of Saturday. In fact, my only purchase on Friday were some jumbo willow coins, a lucky break as apparently they weren't supposed to go up at that time.
Being very busy outdoors on Saturday, I didn't pay attention to what was on sale until later in the evening. And while I was good at resisting by being away from a computer screen, the moment I was "online", well I got roped into the excitement. There was a thread about the sale going on simultaneously over at Avian Avenue, and, honestly, part of the fun was trying to "snip" interesting items away from others! Mind you, I only did this with items I a) wanted and b) considered a very good deal. In any case, at the end of Saturday, I had a few more items purchased than I thought I would initially get.
Then came Sunday...and having had fun the previous evening, I kept a closer eye on the sale and got a considerable amount of goods. The one item that I didn't get the day before that I had actually wanted was a cork bark perch, and really, I paid closer attention just in case it ever would become available again and, of course, saw a number of other interesting items.
So what did I end up getting?
Let's get the "boring" out of the way first, not part of the sale, but an item I was going to order that week-end anyways because we were running low, a 10lbs bag of TOPs pellets.
Here are the aforementioned jumbo willow coins - Shade will be happy!
Before I proceed with the rest, I'll mention that most of what I did purchase as pre-made toys (aka not toy parts) were not made from larger companies (as T4W carries toys from other toy makers), but were from small businesses. They were the items I coveted the most (other than that cork bark perch!) and I'll indicate under the pictures the name of the toy and who made it.
The following two toys (over the next three pictures) were toys I had considered for quite some time, mostly for Léa due to the hardwood shapes, and this was the perfect opportunity to try them out!
The next two toys will go to some of the smaller guys, due to the plastic parts and easier to chew/shred naturals. To whom exactly they will go, I don't know yet. They were also some of the first toys to make it into the pile.
The following three toys were sold as good for bunnies and other similar animals. The first and the third I believe were created specifically for them (but will work great with my flock) and the second one was part of an existing collection for parrots. All natural an undyed parts! The third one was also the first item I could grabbed from the sale that had cork bark in it!
Taking a little break from posting T4W toys, a few Avian Stainless toys made their appearance from time to time as well. Couldn't pass on the opportunity to grab a few of these at a discounted price!
A few perches came up, and I managed to get two...
Yes, I managed to get one of the coveted cork bark perch! Danita felt generous and had quite a few up and limited them to one per customer. What is equally as satisfying as getting that perch? Being able to get a few pre-drilled chunks of cork bark! Those will easily fill some skewers.
When I first opened my box, I saw this brown paper bag marked "surprise".
I was intrigued, wondering what the "additional" surprise might be. Then I remembered that I actually purchased a surprise bag and got curious as to what the item(s) was/were, that I purchased blindly.
It was a perch. A nice cholla perch.
That was the last of the items in the box, but I did purchase one additional thing during the sale. What might it be? A "coupon" allowing me to save 15% off T4W toys on my next order. I had a browse around the website yesterday, and a few things caught my attention. Looking forward to the next order!

Quick and easy skewer toys
In the past I've always shared skewer toys when I showed some of the toys I made myself. They were always an easy thing to do, but they just got easier.
A while ago, I received orders I've made at Things for Wings and Crystal's Bird Toys during Avian Avenue's Sidewalk Sale.
From Things for Wings, I got a large bag filled with odd shapes of wood that were already pre-drilled. Well, given the pieces can be on the thicker side, I've used them on Léa's skewer (it's larger than the others I have). I've also used large wooden beads and some Mother Pluckin' blocks she hadn't quite finished destroying from the previous time I filled the skewer up.
For the Littles, I used pre-made skewer toys from Crystal Bird Toys, as well as a few pine slats and beads that had been included the previous time I filled the skewer but not yet destroyed. However, most of what is on them is the skewer toys and I only needed a few to make the skewers look nice and full! I'm sure Joey, Shade and Pixel will love! (I also have some of these for Petey and Zuri, however their skewers were still quite full when I filled these up).

A surprise!
On Friday, I received a surprise in the mail; a small box, although large enough to make it difficult to get out of the mailbox slot (I was really wondering how it got shoved in it in the first place) was waiting for me.
The box was from Things for Wings and inside it was this toy -
It was a gift from my friend Maya and given how I know of her preference for Pipe, I guess it is only fair that he receives the toy. Plus, given he's not entirely destructive, the little adorable Teddies (not entirely visible on my picture) will stay intact for far longer this way.
Thanks Maya!

SWS 2013, Delivery #3 - Things for Wings
As I pointed out in an earlier post, the box from my Sidewalk Sale Things for Wings order arrived sometime last week. But, life being in the way, I really only got to take pictures yesterday and process them this morning. Lots and lots of pictures...
This order, when I initially submitted it, was very reasonable. I had told myself I wouldn't look at the "daily deals" (more like hourly deals), and keep my order simple. But I didn't listen to myself and got roped into the daily deal fun, although I think I did show restraint on some items and wasn't glued as much as I could have been on the Things for Wings website - the order could have easily gone out of control.
Oh and one last note, for the first time in a long time, I only ordered one copy of each individual toy - something that goes against how I normally order, ensuring birds have similar toys (if they have similar likings).
So here is what I ordered.
The "original" order (i.e. no daily deal items)
"Tahiti Chipper" - most likely will go to Joey, as he's the biggest fan of the shreddable material and is going through pine like crazy lately.
"Fall Shenanigans" - could go to just about any of the Littles.
"Big Juicy Strawberries" - I'm thinking will probably go to Léa given the chunky branch pieces and hardwood shapes.
"Pirate Boy" - another toy that could go to any of the Littles, but I'll probably give it to Petey as it's an adorable toy and it has a better chance to last a little longer with Petey.
"Léa's Toy" - the toy's name does say who this will be destined to.
"Hardwood Teddy Trio" - will go to one of the Littles, thinking Shade.
"Teddy Crunch" - will go to Piper.
That was it for the "toy" aspect of the original order. But since T4W has recently expanded to include perches, cleaning supplies and food, well I got a little of each in this order.
Rope perches - because I never have enough on hand it seems.
AviClean - does work rather well on my cages (this is the concentrated stuff, will need to be diluted).
10lbs worth of TOPs (the pellets).
Now we get to the extra items I didn't originally plan for...
"Daily Deals"
"Bag of drilled pine scraps" - first thing I purchased, it was cheap, plentiful (I was expecting less wood) and it will make for great skewer fillers.
"Very nice wood coin toy" - I think, before it went up, Danita had personally told me that it would be one right up my "alley". She was right and in the basket it went...
"Vault - Willow, Hardwood shape, 3/8" pine" - one of Danita's "vault" toys (either discontinued or some T4W designs that never really were put up for sale as far as I can gather) and something that I think Shade will love!
"Yucca and pine" - looked neat on the screen, was even nicer (and bigger) in person. Will be going in one of the Littles' cage.
"Willow coins" - the last item I purchased. She had the coins up for a very short period of time and, when I saw them up, I freaked out a little and ordered 20, since I didn't know if there was a limit and it seemed reasonable. But then, before the time was up, I made a second order for another 20. In retrospect, I should have just put a larger number from the get-go, but what can you do...
I'm very pleased with everything and even more surprised that Danita managed to make everything fit in the box it came in. There was no way I would have been capable of putting it all back in there neatly.
Thanks Danita!

I'm very pleased with everything and even more surprised that Danita managed to make everything fit in the box it came in. There was no way I would have been capable of putting it all back in there neatly.
Thanks Danita!
