Foraging toys small enough for GCCs?

I'm drooling over all the awesome foraging toys out there on the market; specifically the Creative Foraging Systems line. I'm about to place an order on MSBS and want to add a forager to the mix (link FORAGING TOYS by MY SAFE BIRD STORE). All of them on the site look amazing, but most of them look much too big for my little 60g GCC to handle.

Specifically, I already have some shredding boxes, basket type things, etc, so I want one of the reusable ones (usually plastic) where the treat retrieval method isn't simply CHEW, but to turn, pull, and so on...but those all seem large-bird sized! Has anyone tried one with their smaller bird? I'm getting so much big-bird envy on behalf of my little cutie :rolleyes:

Maxx has these two and uses them all the time. The Wheel was just filled this afternoon and he spent an hour with it.

Loki (GCC) Sugar (Goffins)
The Creative Foraging System does have a small one that works for GCC's. I had one for Loki. Only issue? It's all plastic except for the paper portion you put inside and the twist lock breaks easily.

Bobioden's got some great foraging toys. I usually just make my own.

Rest in Peace Rio
I have a wheel and the carousel that both my CAG and GCC take turns using. They both do great with them. I have a few others on my shopping list for this weekend! :)

Cool, it seems like the wheel is a good option. Thanks for posting pics, Bobioden! Not only do I get an eyeful of cuteness, they show the scale of the toy in comparison to a GCC. The video on the site showed a Cockatoo...which is way bigger than my girlie!
