Bird Toys!

[zandperl]

I think I may have figured out the start of foraging toys for Kappa. She really likes shredable toys, and they must be firmly affixed to the *side* of her cage, not hanging, and not on the floor. She'd been destroying "shredders" (woven palm leaves I think) for the first week of my having her, then I tried shoving a popsicle stick in between the

If she likes the palm leaves I'd suggest the woven palm pack from bird.com ( http://www.bird.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=502298 )- I bought one (it has five in it for the price). My macaw enjoys it, and my meyers is learning to tear it apart for the treats in it- shes big into foraging. My lilac crowned amazon isn't too big into it, but seeing two others he has munched on his (his has nuts in it).

If I could find another place for this I'd be more inclined to buy it more often, but this is the only place I've found so far (and only found it because my work reward card is spendable there). I also bought their "treasure chest" which said it was safe for up to macaws, but really I'd only trust it with a small amazon. If Kappa learns to manipulate things it might be worth a try. I like it versus the other more common ones with the top and bottom as once its apart they can't get their head stuck inbetween the pieces- the top can't slide back closed until you reset it.

I ended up putting an order in to Birdy Booty, so I'll see what I get from her first, but yeah, I'm hoping she'll get better at foraging with time.
