Any updates on the big scary red bombs?
They have totally acclimated to having them IN the cages, but I see no sign of interest in trying out the balls! Any suggestions? :D

This is great! I was reading everyone's comments while laying in bed and literally "lol'd" which woke up the husband. He was a bit confused...then went back to sleep. Thanks for the entertainment!!! :laugh::roflmao:
Hey, we aim to entertain around here! ;) But seriously, these little guys (and girls) provide so much entertainment to me on a daily basis! Not just mine, but the others on AA as well! I trade lovie stories all the time with some of the people on here, hehe.

How about putting their favorite treat in it (if there is a hole on the bottom you can always clip it on too) If they are still "chickens butts" clip it onto the chains on the top? Pickles went in for the millet and the rest was history!

Excellent idea! Millet MAY motivate. :)

If you can get one of yours to enter the scary red bomb, i will get one for Argie and maybe Olive is she's good.

@fluffypoptarts , the Jolly Balls are a no go in your house? My Blue and/or keets are looking:knockknock: for a Jolly Ball to have some fun on:pillowfight:since Pickles isnt always in the sharing mood so keep us in mind should you decide to pass them on:marlenesmile:

*****EDIT*****
I still think you should keep going though as they will most likely take a liking to the "red bombs" in time but the above note of mine is just a side note for the far off future :)

@Kellie728 @Happynme The millet trick didn't work, they just dragged it out and ate it away from the scary ball! :D You girls want to try them on your birdies?
Lol! Smart lil devils arent they. Id give one a go if you decide to rehome it...but you may could drill a hole and attatch the millet to where they CANT just drag it out....
Or tie a rock to the millet. Theyll be forced to eat it in the big scary red bombs! :D

We texans tie rocks to all sorts of things...
Once had a dog that refused to stay in pen...hed jump or dig or climb the fence. So......big rock tied to long long tether. He could get out of pen...but that rock wouldnt let him go thru small places...so wed find him under the truck or 20 feet from the pen with the giant rock still in the pen. Kept him from running to the highway and didnt hurt him

If you are sure that they won't use them i could try and see if mine are braver than yours. Silly boys, they can be such chickens sometimes.:rolleyes:
