Making the Birdie Macramé Toy.
Don't forget the chain for the Birdie Macramé Toy. 
(Item #2 on the linked chain page is the chain with the O-ring attached.)

TOY TIP: How to Make Birdie Macramé Toy.
Thread an 8- to 10-inch piece of rope through the links of the chain and
tie two knots in the middle of the rope (on each side of the chain). 
After your bird frays the ends, trim the ropes.  Hours of fun for only pennies!

Cotton Rope Safety Review 
Pet Bird Report, Issue #52, page 92.
from Sally Blanchard

I finally had the chance to see the difference between rope that is safe and rope that isn't.  Most rope has polished fiber strands that don't pull apart easily which is why parrots have problems getting untangled when they get in it ... the strands of (unpolished) rope pull apart easily like a cotton ball to avoid trapping and injuring bird feet and toes.

                      by Sally Blanchard, Editor, Companion Parrot Quarterly

SAFETY -- Keep rope lengths short and loops too small for your bird's head.  
               Inspect daily.

This rope is used in some of our toys.
