Any idea where I could find it. The toys in the outside aviaries are on nickel plated chain which of course being in the weather rusts.  What I want to do is replace all the chain on the outside toys with stainless steel including the quick links. Now I can get it so easily from the US but shipping is horrid even on a slow boat to wherever. I may yet have to resort to that but surely there is somewhere in Australia I get can get the darn stuff. PRC and My Parrot Shop both have the SS quick links and bells, it's the chain that's a problem. |

Just did some more net surfing and there's a marine place closeish that may hopefully have some. I'll check them out in the next couple of weeks anyway.
I've still got quite a bit of Nickle plated bird toy chain that I got about 18 months ago. That's fine for the inside guys, it's the aviaries that I need the SS for. I'm thinking if I keep the chain toys to certain lengths then it's easy enough to recycle and make new toys as long as I have the basic chain structure in place.

Which Home Hardware did you go to Ben? Nickel plated is reasonably easy to find but I really need the stainless steel for the aviary birds.

I have my aviary birds huge branches hung up by that yellow plastic chain from Bunnings. My alex's chewed it off once......the ekkies don't chew quite the same as the alex's.
