8Beaks?
« on: December 06, 2009, 12:18:39 PM »
I've been a big fan of 8beaks for all my wee birds, but the toys big enough for a Grey are nearly out of my price range :(

Do you guys think they're overpriced? I live in Boston but spend a lot of time in NY. Any recs?

i buy supplies online mostly, but a quick trip to the craft store can do in a jiffy too...the large toys already made are redamneddiculously over priced!  ::) ;D

Wow, I just had THE most wonderful interaction with Lisa from 8Beaks. She's set aside a number of things for me because I won't have money until Monday... and then offered to send them with what I had paid for already and trust me to pay her back when I was able! Obviously I'll be sending her the better part of my cheque the moment it's in my account, but WOW. It's amazing how nice bird-folk can be when they hear your new little one only has one or two things the right size for his beakers :)

It probably helps that over the years I've bought enough stuff off her site to start my own shop  :P
