Its a foraging/toy basket! I LOVE this idea. It is fixed to the cage bars by the perch. For birds that like to rip things apart like Pumpkin does this looks like a lot of fun.

That does look like loads of fun (for a parrot) but I bet I can get pretty creative making something like that for my kidos!

Im thinking about making one too eventually. One project at a time though lol.
 
I got that busy perch in my first buy of stuff for Pazu. It is awesome and you can add things to it.
Only downside to it is the perch itself, not the best. But you can stick any perch through it.
Great idea for cage filler too
 
I get baskets from the dollar tree to make things like that. Sometimes they have stained/painted ones to avoid, but most of them are plain. I don't see too many that are large enough for the really big fids, but they work great for probably medium and smaller.

I also get the baby interlocking rings there.

Oh I love the dollar tree for parrot toys lol! I've never seen one of these for sale, but I think I'd like to try to make my own. It'd probably be cheaper. And yes I was thinking of the larger birds too, this really wouldn't last long lol...
 
Whenever I. Looking for baskets for my fids, I always go to goodwill, they have an entire shelf of just wicker baskets for 50¢ for the small GCC sized ones and for a big one for my zon and grey its 75¢-$1

Yeah I spend a lot of time looking at good will and other thrift shops for bird toys. Sometimes you can really score.
 
How do you know if it's been treated or not though?
