Toys for conures

[KiwiDaWeirdo]

Any suggestion of toys for conures?

Each bird is individual so they aren’t all going to like the same materials even if they are the same species.
My green cheek loves very thin pine splats, balsa, sola, mahogany pods, cork bark, and yucca.
He also loves playing with mini maracas and hard wiffle balls.

Sola balls, finger trap toys where you can stuff millet in the traps, boing rope. Go for a variety of textures and materials until you find what your bird likes. For Conures I think small or medium toys work best.

For a crimson bellied conure I'd recommend smaller plastic based things like the abacus toy or wireframe balls with toys in them like the basketball toy or the tri mirror toy....

things like these in my experience doesn't scare them and they like them.

I’m not sure I’d recommend those toys. The first three have mirrors which just presents an unnecessary risk of the bird becoming obsessed over the bird in the mirror.
The fourth is unsafe because if the bird were to chew through the plastic, he would then be exposed to a jingle bell which are very unsafe do to their ability to entrap toes/beaks/nails etc.

I just think going for more natural toys is the safer and more stimulating way to go.
Plastic toys have their place but not for all birds and certainly not if they have mirrors.
If your bird plays fine with them that good but I would personally be wary.

I disagree, mine love them but oh well. Also I have several birds...maybe for a lone bird there would be an issue. I think it would have more to do with that aspect. Mine know that the bird in the mirror isn't real. So your argument IS valid, it just doesn't apply in a larger flock methinks.

I think your argument is valid too, but this person appears to only own one bird so I feel as if it would cause problems for their specific bird.

I don't think my budgie Rocky thinks that her reflection in a mirror is another bird. I don't put mirrors in her cage but I sometimes walk up to a mirror with her and let her investigate our reflections and she shows little interest. She shows more interest in my other budgies but prefers human company.

I dunno what to say, I just recommend those from my experience.....

I hope you see something you and your Fid like.

My yellow sided GCC loves thin, wood toys. Of course he shreds them within one day

What type of conure? My GCC loves foot toys, especially birdy bagels, paper straws, finger traps, sola sticks etc He loves any kind of swing but especially loves his orbital swing. Honestly he likes all toys but ones that can be destroyed easily he seems to take to the most (like the paper type ones stuffed with paper shreds). We shop at bonkabirdtoys or mysafebirdstore online they have lots to choose from.
