Paypal should not be the limiting issue because you do not need to be a member to pay. Simply enter a credit card into paypal on checkout and the order will come through to me.

However, the bigger issue is that international shipping is prohibitively expensive. You're looking at about $45 shipping to most countries outside the US, $25 to Canada. However, since the major cost of the shipping is the international factor rather than the weight, I'd suggest getting as many toys as the box will fit (I'm guessing 4-5 but if anyone is considering it, I can personally test to see the best option). It seems that whether you order 1 toy or 5, shipping won't change by more than a couple dollars.

I do apologize to all my international friends that these products may be inaccessible, just a shipping cost issue. I will gladly look into a closer estimate on a case by case basis if you contact me with your country, postal code/city, and let me know which products you would want and quantities if they apply. Thank you for your understanding.

I'd love to buy one, but the shipping is just a bit too much.

You should also set up an etsy account for your bird toys and training perches. I've found a couple of really great bird toy stores on there. I even found one in the same city, and she's making me a custom order of 10 bird toys for 50$, and that includes shipping.

Just a suggestion

I have a question. Where do you buy those long metal wires used as the base of your toys? I don't know what they are called, but I'd love to be able to get some so I can make more toys for my birds.

I don't know what Michael is using, but toy parts suppliers sell a couple of things you can use to make metal toy bases -- some are essentially the guts of a metal skewer for veggies without the decoration and hanger -- and they may actually be listed as "Kebab" parts. You can also use a piece of chain and a split ring, both of which can be gotten in stainless steel. The rings are a bit of a pain to work with because you have to twist them open with a pair of pliers and it takes a bit of strength, but they are very versatile. You can also get hinged rings that clip open and closed, but some birds can probably easily learn to open those.
