Toys/cage items for Macaw Parrots?

Hi,

Where I work (well volunteer, its a charity) they have several Macaw Parrots and they can't always be let out of their cages, so I was thinking of getting them some little toys for their cages.

I have looked in a few pet shops but couldn't seem to find anything that suitable. Most of the stuff I could find was for smaller birds, but these Parrots are pretty big.

Can anyone recommend anything. Maybe someone here has Parrots and can recommend anything?

Any help will be great. Thank you.

Unfortunately they tend to be very expensive as they have to be robust - we have an African Grey and he is bad enough - thick rope is good though with knots in

Doesn't rope have to be specially treated? Or is that just wood and plastic etc that needs to be treated?

pets@home do some great stuff,i'v bought alot of the ropes and swings that are intended for bigger birds to put in my chipmunks cage as it takes them longer to chew through it.

I am going to check in Pets at Home when I can get there.
Is there stuff expensive though? I don't want to be spending silly money on things.

Really? Oh never knew that. Must be messy though. They already make a big enough mess of their cages
