A piece of pine, holes drilled in with paddle bits and then sanded down. Stuffed the holes with nuts, parrot puffs and pumpkin seeds. I made holes on the end to thread rope through for tying onto the cage bars because master Percy can't bloody leave zip ties alone...:54:

I'm going to steal you idea^^.
My green cheeks would love it.
Have you ever thought about using(well it's called arabische gom here i don't know how it is called in English.)
I'ts a kind of organic glue that comes from trees.
And it is 100%save for parrots,i use it to make treats stick to pine cones or in holes so it won't fall out easy.

I googled it and it is called Gum Arabic here :). Will do some research into it, thanks!

Almost the same, we call it gum arabic.

EDIT : oops, I was reading while Percy's mum was posting.

Great i couldn't find it in English.
But be sure to use 100% certify .
I'm lucky since our pet store sells it.
But it's really useful.

That's a nice foraging toy but it won't last long with my macaws as they'll have it destroyed less then an hour....lol.....
