Who needs a $30 parrot toy when you *could* have $1 knock off legos from Target's "dollar section" instead?:D Picked up a pack for my little buddy earlier. Don't think I could've spent a 'better' dollar on a bird toy. Stuck about 15 together at random and handed him the structure and his beady orange eyes went like this:

I think he may feel like Godzilla (Birdzilla? Cthulhu?) decimating a building or something. Whatever the case, he's super duper happy taking all those legos apart! See folks, parrots don't always have to be "expensive". Always keep your eyes open for things for them to play with (engage your brain and apply common sense liberally) and you'll rarely be out the $$$ for the 'big toys':59:

That's pretty neat, I picked up a toy from the pet store for $15 and it has leather strands with knots and coloured wooden shapes on it... Anything to keep them amused!

What no pic? :)

Since the great photo bucket disaster, I've been uploading photos directly to the forum as attachments. I'm a bit ashamed to admit, I can't figure out where to find out how much room I have left:06:, so I've been uploading images very sparingly because I'm fairly certain I can't be storing hundreds of images on here and have no clue how to delete old one etc...

Ya, not going to fall for that one again. What happens when Imgur (or whatever other platform) decides to take my photos hostage? This is the only place I post photos anyways. I don't do any social media and aren't active on any other forums anymore.

Isn’t it the greatest when you find something that’s actually worth more than you paid for it :)

imgur does work well, if you ignore the rude comments people leave for you.
I posted a pic of Bella sitting on my head. 1 person thought it was photoshoped (it was not) and 2 people thought ... I was wearing a toupee (my hair is MY HAIR. 1 person (and I got a good laugh out of this) asked me why I made Harry Potter sleep under the stairs.

On imgur you can set it so your images aren't publically posted so they don't appear in the site feed. only way you can see it is if someone directly links it. So you can avoid the rudeness. I've used imgur for 4ish years now and have had no problem.
