Looks like a great idea and lots of fun for the birds. (might even want a go myself)
Aussie Ben, you are too funny! :p
Spiritbird, thanks for showing us this idea; I'm going to do one for my new CAG I'm getting next week. I bet it will help with her transition to a new home.

She flys over from her play gym to check out what I'm working on.

Clever little birdy, but no sneak peeks for you. Wait until you get in your cage ;)

Sunny: If you dont mind me asking where are you getting your CAG from? There are so few up for rescue. People seldom surrender an AG so most people must get a young one from a breeder.

OK guys and gals back to the little basket. I just got the last one at my Wal Mart store and it is the least expensive toy I have ever seen that can be for a bird. As expected my Rosie is a little afraid of it now but that should change. It is funny she plays with her toys better inside the cage and not outside of cage. I imagine it has something to do with her comfort level.

Strange how birds are so different. :eek:
When giving Mishka a new toy, I must first play with it, on my lap, for one or two nights. After that she becomes inquisitive and starts playing with it. We tested her, put a new one in her cage about 5 days ago.
She never even looked at it :mad: That soon changed :)

Yes we have to teach them to play with the toy. Rosie watches me but it takes her a long time unless I bait her with a treat near or on the new toys. After all from a parrots perspective it could be a predator!!
