This little lady is learning to forage. I stuffed some almond chunks in pine cones for her. What do your Amazons like to chew on? So far, I’ve found that Ava likes a bit softer materials. Balsa is her favorite, but she seems to like yucca & thinner pieces of pine as well. She’s not a hard chewer in general, but sure likes to take chunks out of the ends of her Java perch once in a while.

OOooooh! I need something like that for Yvons and Vortex! They're my devoted foragers, LOL!
 
Nameliss enjoys foraging. It keeps her busy. She doesn't care for pinecones. But she loves to demolish a corn cob after she's stripped the corn. Interactive toys are her ultimate love.
 
Untreated pine, and heavy cardboard. Pine cones, wine corks, and tongue depressors are destruction treats
 
Just received these, along with a bunch of loose parts for making my own large balsa toys for Ava. The toy on the right has been one of her favorites so far, so I got a couple. It’s yucca & pine. The toy on the left is balsa.
