Has anyone tried getting puzzle toys for smart birds?

I was considering getting something like this to entertain my budgies. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Also I don't know if Elvis and Olive be able to do this to get the millet I'd put inside. https://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-Perfe...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Highly doubtful .

I'd only get wooden toys that are meant for birds, the ones in the first link look like the wood has been treated.

You could put millet in something like this that they would have to forage for:

Something like this would also work for budgies, although you may have to rotate the wheel for them:

This would also work:

You can also make a foraging toy using cupcake holders. Foraging provides so much entertainment for birds of all sizes, I'm so happy you're thinking of it for your budgies

Fully agree, really want to be looking a Parrot directed toys as far too many are not Parrot specific toys use products which are dangerous for them.

I have not had to provide our Amazon toys for smart Parrots as he is far beyond that point, he simply disassembles his cage. We target stuff that he can turn big bits into tiny bits.

We have long visited our local Big Box lumber store or lumber yard looking for soft wood bits of non-treated lumber. They are commonly busy with contractors early morning a before and after lunch hour. Visiting when those folks are not there is best. Note: Size of the bits is very dependent on your Parrot! 2x6 size is okay for Mac's, but not for small Parrots.

Busy Barrel

Perfect for medium to large birds. Constructed of solid aluminum and stainless steel, this toy is built to last a lifetime. Parrots love its bright colors and the clanky sounds it makes as they take it apart by unscrewing the wing-nuts. Put a treat inside and let them go at it! Mounts securely...

I've gotten three toys for Pancho from this site! He loves them all, especially the busy barrel with a treat in it! And they are holding up to the macaw beak quite nicely!

I like the toys on this site CindyLynn, thanks. Salty makes quick work of any foraging toy I've found. The little bugger figures them out in minutes and then its a matter of seconds to do the puzzle.

Having a super smart bird is both a joy and a pain in the neck sometimes! They are so hard to keep busy but it amazing watching their little minds work!
