SH>      My friend just made him some very chewable wood toys which he has

SH>      fact, they've been so successful that he is thinking of mass-
SH>      producing them and hawking them at one of the bird shows we have

I have a friend who does that, and she's swamped for business. Bird toys
that are safe and interesting are a hot commodity with bird owners these
days!
SH>         I take it you have a lot of birds? What are they and how
SH>      many?
Well, if 15 is a lot, I guess so! I've got 8 aging cockatiels (oldest
is around 10, youngest is 6), 4 Jenday conures, and 3 Cherry-headed
conures. The Jendays are all pets, the older two are also breeders (and
parents of one of the younger ones). The older two cherry-heads are
strictly breeders (wild caught and NASTY), and the other one is their
daughter, and a tame pet. The tiels are mostly friendly, but not real
pets--they prefer each other to my company most of the time. Once in a
while one of them will hop out and visit me while I'm feeding them--that
makes my day, as I raised most of them myself, and it's nice to be
remembered.
