With mine, I just keep putting her back on there every time she leaves. And I try to keep the toys a little more new and interesting than what's in her cage.

I give River treats in the dish on his stand.

Welll.... River does tend to want to go exploring, he goes from the play perch, to his cage, back to the pech, onto the curtain rod, down to the chair, back to me at my computer.... he's a busy boy

I also have the same problem... Apple LOVES to jump off of his stand and explore the living room floor. He won't even come to me, will just walk around the whole living room chewing on things. Lol! I need to get him new toys, or make him new ones. When he jumps off most of the time I pick him up and bring him with me, I know it's the wrong thing to do since it's rewarding the behavior but when he's done with his exploring he'll look at me with those cute little eyes and I can't help to bring him with me. :)

Good advice given, definately just put him back whever he does it, not like me. Lol!

One Green Cheek Conure: Tori
I hung a bell for Tori to play with above his play gym. He is absolutely in love with bells, so he stays there for quite a while. Do you know what your bird's favorite toy is? Maybe if you put one there along with something that would keep them entertained like a shreding toy with treats hidden inside he'd stay for a bit.
