My mac HATES toys other than his few favorite ones that I keep re-ordering. Like he will pretend it is not there. We had a fun toy that sat in his cage 6 months without being touched. I finally took it out and ta-da! now he will go to that part of his cage again.

that being said, my family is getting a WBC and I want to know what everyone's favorite toys are!! I am SO EXCITED (!!!!) to do some toy shopping :merlieshops: and get all the fun adorable toys that I see in everyone else's videos and pictures!

what are your caique's favorite toys? is there a type of wood that is better for them? how long do they take to go through them? It's going to be at least 2 months before she comes home, so plenty of time to buy/make a boat load of toys!

I'm kinda hoping my mac sees her playing with toys and gets the hang of what he is supposed to do with them :laugh:

Secret takes AGES to warm up to toys. The Christmas tree from Susan and Oliver's Garden is finally, nearly, gone. I'm thinking I should buy another quickly!!! But, I'm waiting on my turkey..... I'm tagging her @Susan and Oliver
OLIVER’S GARDEN BIRD TOYS

The only problem with those toys is you hate to give them to the birdies because they're so cool looking..... but man, they really dress the cage nicely.

Rio has never met a toy he didn't like. :D He especially likes climbing up high on the ones hung from the ceiling. He's also discovered the parrotlet foot toys from (oh shoot. I am having a moment. The stainless steel welded ones)... today he took one of those out of the plet cage, brought it on the table, and continually dropped it and waited for me to pick it up. So I started catching it mid-air. So he moved to where I couldn't catch it. LOL

He seems to like softer wood slats the most. And I know Laurie has some great toys in her shop. I have my eye on quite a few!

Cake's favourite toys are these:


The one on the left is hand-made using one of these, while the one on the right was bought in a shop down in Orlando (I don't remember the manufacturer :( ) but can be made using these.

Though anything with a bell will get him going. I just find that he prefers things that he can bite and shake without breaking. He tends to shatter things made out of thin plastic.

2) Any shiny watch or jewellery
3) Anything they are forbidden to touch
4) Bottlebrush
5) Empty boxes

Thanks so much!

If you search "caique" in the search box of my shop it will bring up some of the toys my guys love.

Anything they can chew, shake, or hop around and roll over with! Jamie is never shy about new things, and dives right in. I basically fill up the basket with lots of little chewing things, and then pick them all back up... over and over. He also really seems to like the texture of the little 'sock monkey' dog toy and the fleece material (remnants I picked up at Hobby Lobby) that I've tied on the rack.
