Best toys and food for conures

[slushii]

Hello there
I've looked around and decided I really want to bring home a green cheek conure as my companion.
I've been shopping for toys, and what I have so far are 12 shredding toys, 2 puzzle toys, 5 different "natural" perches [naturally shaped for their feet], a sandpaper perch for their claws, cuttlebone and stainless steel food bowls.

I am still keen to spend more!
I am open to suggestions for toys, perches, stands, etc.
I am also looking for a good brand of pellets. I want to be 100% set up before bringing a bird home.

Buying things for your bird is addicting! At least it is for me. I have lots of suggestions for you:

• When I brought my first bird home I purchased this kit which included lots of great toys and perches: https://www.elleandthebirds.com/shop
  
  
• I also love this monthly subscription box for a variety of new toys every month: https://squawkboxes.com/
  
  
• Another popular cage accessory if it gets cold where you live: https://www.chewy.com/kh-pet-products-snuggle-up-bird/dp/190748 Lots of parronts keep these in sleep cages during winter
  
  
• If you don't already have a T-perch they are very useful for training sessions. I love this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RDH7LQR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  
• You can also look into DIY bird toys and projects! There are lots of affordable and easy toys you can make. Here's a thread with lots of DIY toy examples: https://www.parrotforums.com/threads/we-want-to-see-your-homemade-toys.93265/ and there are a lot of YouTube videos out there with ideas too.
  
  
• I also built a DIY play stand using PVC pipes that my GCC spends a ton of time on. I followed this tutorial:
  (I had to modify it because it was too large for my space.)

Thanks so much for this!
It gets a little chilly at night here.
I will DEFINITELY buy a T perch as I did pick up a clicker and plan on teaching her some things.
