Duster Loves Free Toys: 1 - Swings

Hello there my friends.  This is the first post in a series where I'm going to introduce you to my free or recycled toys.  While there are some fantastic toys out there that you can buy, many free items can be as good if not better fun.  And because they are free, it means we can easily have more toys available for us to choose what to play with!

1  -  Coat-hanger Swing

So first up is using a coat-hanger as a swing.

This is me having lots of fun on my swing!

I like the triangle shaped ones best as they give a few options of where to sit and climb.

It's best to choose a fully plastic swing.  Nearly every human has one to spare from their wardrobe so you can fly by and choose one and leave poopie presents on your human's clothes until they get the message if needed hehehe

Metal may not be safe depending the type as some metal can be toxic.  Wood could be treated and so it may not be safe for us; and fabric can lead to us ingesting fibres which can block up our digestive systems.

You'll need to find somewhere for it to hang.  For example I have mine over a chair back, which is extra perfect as it has a hole in it. Otherwise over a play stand, cage stand or perch would work well too.  In a large cage or aviary it would work well over a bar on the roof, over a branch or perch, or linked onto another hanging toy.  If you don't have something suitable you may be able to get your human to use a hook or hanger to set it up.

Now enjoy..... swings are great fun to play on and provide us a little more challenge to land on while moving.  But they are also great to relax on, preen on and snooze on.
