They like to chew on things so clean cardboard, rolled up (unread) magazines or catalogs, pinecones, knotted sisal (untreated) rope, chunks of balsa wood or even pine (again, untreated), etc.

Paper products are usually safe, just watch the glues and ink which may be toxic.
Just remember they're designed to dissassemble things to get at food.

Ink hasn't been toxic for decades but you do have to watch glue AND staples (always take them out).

If you make it, it is homemade, barkha alisha. (make = made) (homemade = made at home)
It is all about finding materials that are safe for parrots, then giving it to them in an interesting way.

No problem
Here's a few websites with ideas. Be careful with giving new things to parrots. they may be afraid of them at the beginning.
If there are pine trees near you, parrots usually love to chew on pinecones
