Looks like a great idea and lots of fun for the birds. (might even want a go myself)

Aussie Ben, you are too funny!
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.

I made one just now

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

And she LOVES it.:32:

Thanks so much for the idea, SB!!!!

HAHA A94 thats awesome, she is right into that thing!

Hey Sunny i didn't know you were getting a CAG, I musta missed that. Thats awesome!

 

[apatrimo94]

She's defacing it now, so as we speak, hahaa

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.

SpiritBird, here's Sunny's thread about her CAG: CAG

 

[Aussie Ben]

Oops Sunny - just saw the thread A94 linked, I guess I did know you were getting a CAG, I even posted lol. Man I'm forgetful sometimes

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.
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 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!!
