Play with toys with him. Or, better yet, pretend he can't have it.

It's been a little over 2 weeks now and I do believe I am his picked person lol. He does very good when I ask (or tell) him to step up. He is starting to say a few words but I'm sure more will come when he's totally comfortable here. He is feeling pretty comfortable also with his new cage... toys are still evil but I made him some foot toys that he is starting to at least beak and feel them. The pic that I'm putting a link here for is about day 3 or 4 here. He loves to preen now and has let me rub some of the new pin feathers that are coming in :)

I give my CAG each half a walnut a day. I hide little pieces of it throughout their foraging toys. I do have to crack the walnut for them to eat it. They will crack almonds tho. My first grey came to me at five and she grew up with only one toy in her cage. She still dosnt care too much for toys but she will shred and she loves to forage. She is very food drivin. She has like six foraging toys in her cage that keep her entertained. She also love those bird bagels.

I've been looking at the foraging toys and thinking i may try one for him after I figure out what motivates him. He's still adjusting here and he doesn't have a favorite food. He does love to shred rolled up paper ☺

I stuff a couple of my greys foraging toys with crumbled up pages from the phone book. She loves it.

Hmmm, where to find an old phone book lol I haven't seen one for a few years. I may need to ask some of my neighbors

Yes but they are mini-books compared to the old ones. If you live in an area that has a Senior citizens center and a library print up a flyer asking for any phone books. I got several for an AA member by posting @ work. You'd be surprised (or maybe not) at what you get.

Good idea.
