Valentine likes anything she can shred or her manzinita branch which she sleeps on (I dont know how long, she's making a good toothpick) I have also given her coffee filters with a treat inside, I guess what I am saying is they will decide what they like!!

I just started hiding in-shell almonds in coffee filters and gizmo loves it.

I give gizmo boxes from pasta, cereal or sandwich bags and hide chunks of wood or straws is them.

I agree! Little Debbie boxes are great too!

I have some great skewers and refill kits that are pre-made as well. Or you can buy toy parts and put your own together - super cheap and easy to do once you have the skewers

I buy 2x4's, chop them into 1" slices, and then add some vine balls, (coconut king is the cheapest I have found) and go to thrift stores and buy plastic baby toys, drill holes, and then string all of those onto some stainless steal wire, and there you go! A large toy for a few bucks and some time.

I just found out Doby loves paper plates! I was eating off one and he come to sit with me and bit a piece out of it. So, I cut the outer rim and it fell into a natural spiral.....he is on his third in two days.

Flynn is a destructibles kinda bird. You can buy cork off of amazon for super cheap. I actually jam them between his cage bars in various locations and he loves to destroy them.
I also use corn husks in various forms for him to chew and shred. And balsa is super easy to come by and is relatively cheap. I buy packs of what are basically rejects, so I get different shapes and sizes. He enjoys changing it up a bit.
Paper of various shapes and sizes is always fun to shred.
But, one of the best things I have found to occupy busy little beaks are probably making foraging toys, which are an excellent time sink for a bird.
