Luna loves her bottle tops!
I now have a bowl of plastic bottle tops and spend a few minutes every evening picking them all up from all over the place!! She loves to throw them from the top of the cage and they bounce and she just loves it!!!

2 umbrella Cockatoos One male named Cooper and female named Baby 1 Little Corella male named Frankie and have 5 Cockatiels three named Male named Pepper, Fiesco for the female and female named Wylie.
Any toy with wood pretty much, I be lucky if some survived the day and my empty water, or Gatorade bottles. She like the bottles at time more then the toys and will even play fetch and go get it to toss it and then do it again. I toss them far and she go get it and then toss it at me to toss again. My remote controls, she manage to break off the OK key off only on my TV remote, the key I use the most? My laptop keyboard broke a couple of times and had to replace it and this one a pain in the butt as have to remove whole motherboard, display and ETC and replace top frame with keyboard. Of course she like the usual my phone she like to toss as well as my iPad pro as well, my old iPad Pro she throw far once before I could catch her doing it and display develop a line, so used it with a nice thin line for a year before upgrading it, annoying when watching videos on it.

They are not kidding when they say Cockatoos are destructive. LOL

Just off the the top of my head their favorite non-toys would be bottle caps, keyboard keys (which is bad), any kind of styrofoam (which is worse), my shirt, me, my glasses, my iPhone and iPad covers, and the tv remote... all of which is next to their playstand. Thanks, guys! :rolleyes:

Sunny a female B&G macaw;
Japie (m) & Appie (f), both are congo african grey;
All are rescues- had to leave their previous homes for 'reasons', are still in contact with them :)
Those and my wallcovering (cork to keep down to noise from and to the neighbours).


Appie recently discovered the background and sidewalls in my vivaria (I finished the final layer and they were ready to get planted) ...and everybody is a critic...she chomped nice chunks out of it ...
Sunny decided the curtains needed some holes (just last week).

They all *hate* their toys atm and are banding together to demolish my things :p

My right ear. Really.

But hey... in all these years, the Rb has never paid attention to a bottle cap, but after all the above, I gave him a couple and SHAZAAAAAAM! Loves 'em. Flies around dropping the from up high, chases 'em as they roll and bounce.

The call has gone out to everybody to save 'em!

THANKS, Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. Bottle caps are Neptune favorites, the Gatorade ones ;)

Other than me, Peanut's favorite toy is my laptop. She already managed to tear out the shift key and one of the arrows. So I gave her this broken toy laptop that belonged to my daughter when she was little. Peanut checked it out and then wanted nothing to do with it. I left it out all day and she didn't touch it. It was like she knew that it wasn't a real laptop so what's the fun in destroying that.

Your bird as picky as mines has to be useful, or expensive for her to destroy, or break, or toss it. My female umbrella cockatoo Baby has been after after a speaker cable I hid behind the couch, so she could not get to it. She can't fit back there to reach it, think that stopped her? She got her Boyfriend my male umbrella cockatoo Cooper as he a little smaller then her, to reach it and give it to her as she know I would just get her out of that area, he pulled the speaker cable so she can chew it up, thankfully I caught them and stop them before they chew into it. Yes they love to work together at times, like pulling the wood trim off the wall once.

When my JoJo had free run of the house, I kept a bowl of bottle caps for his pleasure!
Also sprinkled them with sunflower seeds!
