Yup, I’ve bought some bathroom sized paper cups for starting seeds and for giving bird treats. I will be happy to look at your dollar store ideas. I know I’ve bought wooden cooking utensils for birds to chew up. I also have a set of metal measuring spoons hung in Willow’s cage. Lucy (QP) used to love banging them but Willow is more interested in his bells.

What type of bird is Willow? I've made foraging toys with metal measuring spoons. You can do just one as a foot toy or string several together and hang them.

I've also used the paper towel tubes cut in half and then stuck popcicle sticks in it. Before you stick in the last stick, hide a foraging treat in it.

Both my birds really like wood things to chew on.
Mine too. But nothing "normal" that I could buy at the store. LOL! They love balsa, sola, mahogany pods and cork bark. All the softer type woods.

Willow is a male Quaker. I’ve only had female Quakers before.

Oh, so you have 2 Quakers. Got it! I love them. They're such fun little birds. I had one YEARS ago named Shakey because he always shook when he chirped.

Nope, just one. Lucy was 24 and passed on of old age almost two yrs ago. Then I adopted willow. He is relatively healthy for a bird in my home! No big issues at all. Just a bit of a ‘chicken.’

My cockatiels favorite toy is definitely a sea grass mat! I just gave them one and they have been quiet and entertained for hours!

He’s adorable! I made a smaller one into a play mat and they destroyed it within days! Normally it takes at least a week or two for them to destroy a smaller toy!

I just discovered that my budgies love bird kabobs. I got them one two weeks ago, and they've been busy shredding it to bits, lol.
