One Green Cheek Conure: Tori
My little GCC Tori is completely in love with Bells. (not jingle bells.) His out of the cage toy is a little string knot with a bell hanging off of the bottom. His favorite thing to do is go just under the bell and stick his head in it like a hat, then sit there and talk and click and coo as he preens on the string ball.

After playing under his bell for a while, he is the happiest bird on the planet, even if he was super grouchy before hand.

Anyone else's feathered friends have silly playtime behaviors they would like to share?

RIP Charlie, Green Cheek Conure,
Lelu, parrotlet and
Poe the budgie.
Our Charlie, also a GCC does the same thing. Although the bell can also be his enemy where he will puff up and charge it, shove it around the cage, shriek and click and hiss at it for awhile. Sounds absolutely awful but the next minute he is holding it and talking to it and scratching his head so I just call it his surrogate (fr)enemy. I think also that most of his bell toys are attached to his little foraging cups so maybe he is mad when they don't have nuts in them :)

How cute!
Tori has a bell inside of a green squishy ball thing that he likes to try to get at and does just about the same thing you described. He sometimes uses it to swing from one perch to another. Once I caught him sleeping on it.

how cute!!! Oh that is exactly what Tori does. He closes his eyes and rubs the clapper all over his head. If he was a cat he would purr

Today he grabbed that toy and dragged it over to me while we were playing on the table, then got up on the play gym and bounced at it until I picked it up and held the bell out for him. XDDD
