Pictures Lorikeet Foraging 'Flower'

Tried it! Huge success!

Wanted to make it look like an actual 'flower'. This was my first quick, crude attempt.


I cheated and strung it on one of Walter's foot toy skewers.

Nectar was too thin, so I mixed nectar and pureed apple and pear. Put it in a piping bag and piped into about every other straw.


Took him literally 30 seconds to start using it!

That is an awesome idea! He is certainly having a lot of fun And btw your crude attempt looks good already!

 

[Chopper]

Lucky parrot. Awesome job.

 

[WallyLoopey]

He liked it so much, I made one more bigger one.

 

[CrazyBirdChick]

That is fantastic!

Great toys!! I love the look on his happy face in that last picture!

 

[Peachfaced]

YEAH! Awesome job! So glad he likes it!

Where did you get that long shelf for the cage? That's really neat!

 

[WallyLoopey]

The wire shelf?
They came with the cage..I wanted to toss them but he really loves them. I think I'm going to make fleece covers for some of the shelves.

Here's the cage
Double Timbertown Treehouse Bird Cage, Double Bird Cages, Stacked Bird Cages, Breeder Cages, Bird Cages

Wow, well done!

 

[Peachfaced]

I figured they might have. I have a small shelf in Rupert's cage, but one that spans the length of the cage would be awesome! The fleece covers are easy; you'd just be tying the ends for a while.

Wow, I've never seen (or really thought of) a foraging toy for a lori. What a fantastic idea! And he clearly likes them. The frog is such a cute touch on the second flower.

That's really clever!
