Now I've only been a parrot owner for a good month now but the one thing I've learned is to not waste your money and expensive toys because they'll probably prefer a clothes pin, your headphones, and a pencil to it x'D

Owlet, what I find best is to take Salty toy shopping, and let him pick out the toys. We go to the local chain, and slowly walk down the aisle, with Salty out of his pak o bird of course, and let him get close to the toys. they ones he beaks a little bit. are the ones I buy, nd its worked 100% so far. originally I was picking out toys that I liked. not Salty. I gave a lot of toys away. Of course if you get lucky and your parrot like to destroy stuff thats cheap or free, bingo!

I would definitely take Lincoln to the store with me but I don't think either her or I are ready for that quite yet. He can't fly really but I still don't feel comfortable taking him outside of the house until I get a harness for him. Also it's really cold outside so I don't really feel comfortable bringing him outside at all as of now xD

I'm in Colorado, it hasn't been that cold this year in all honesty. We usually have several snows before Halloween but we just had our first snow a couple weeks ago :c
