My BFA had only a rope, a old acrylic toy & a chain with a bell attached, in his cage when adopted him. So, I'm not sure if he ever had wood to chew on. He certainly has shown very little interest in the wood toys I've gotten him. The most he will do, if I hand it to him, is a perfunctory nibble on a popsicle stick. He loves to rip up paper toys and is very fond of destroying wine corks but anything "more woodsy" is left to hang untouched. Its not that he doesn't want to bite hard things because some of the plastic toys I've given him, were pretty durable and he's just sit and break off piece by piece until it is gone.
Although his beak is fine at the moment, I'm concerned that his beak is not getting worn down enough.
Am I just being paranoid? I refuse to take him to have his beak trimmed unless it is absolutely necessary. How can I encourage him to be more interested in wood?
