Nice birdie things. Please let me know how they like the drawer forager that is green. Seen it many times but did not purchase.

It's called the Fiesta Handbag. I bought it for my Senegal Tiki. I'll try and get some video of her with it when I can. I LOVE that free shipping over $49.00.

It's HUGE and takes quite a bit to fill the drawers, so I just put a few items in it for Macky. It's a lot easier for him to figure out how to open it and get the goodies out than the Foraging wheel was. He figured this out in about 10 minutes, while the Foraging wheel took him all day hahahahahaha.

I really liked the Foraging wheel, but it only lasted about 2 months before the plastic threaded piece that attaches it to the cage broke off. This one has the same kind of attachment, but with green plastic instead of the clear plastic. Hopefully it's a tad stronger and at $29.00 it should be.

I also bought Macky the Buffet Ball, but I'm not sure the slits on the sides will allow his beak to get any of the goodies inside. A lot of this stuff is on sale, which is why I went a tad overboard. I try to split my orders up into $50.00 orders since it's free shipping on $49.00 orders and up and space them out every couple of months. But with the sale prices I couldn't pass them up. They even had that Foraging wheel on sale from $26.99 to like $21.99 or so. But I said nope, I ain't going down that road again.

I feel the same way. Bad thing is, they are just as happy flopping around in the shipping peanuts and playing with the box. They remind me sooooo much of my daughter, who would do the same thing. I bought her one of those battery powered barbie cars for Christmas when she was like 5 years old. Guess what she played with. The barbie car for like an hour and the big old box the car came in for like a week all day long. I could have went behind an appliance warehouse and stocked up for Christmas and Birthdays.

I have this one for Max, and he seems to like it best, just on the floor of his cage... without all the trimmings... I put food through the slots, so I'm sure he can get them out... If I cut too small, it'll spoil...

Max learned to pull out a drawer in just a few minutes... and after that he may as well be eating out of a bowl...

I had the same problem with the wheel...
