My senegal parrot loves to bang his bells hard around the cage. He looks mad when he dose it to any bell. It looks like it drives him insaine when it goes off so he just freaks out and bangs it around his cage. Sometimes it drives me nuts! :bored: But that could also be a Senegal behavior? I don't know.

Paris goes mad when she sees something exciting, Paris almost looks like s/h is gonna smash the bell into a half! It's normal behaviour. :)

Dexter is rough with his bell too. He'll sit there and swing it as hard as he can, while laughing. It's pretty funny. Darwin has no interests in bells.

Lorikeets love to smash things around and ours are no different.
Red out lory takes bashing bells to a new level. :rolleyes:

Yes, Giacomo my BFA loves to thrash his large heavy duty jingle ball, I really cannot believe it is still in one piece after about 18 months of him doing this :lol:


And my little Janday Rosie doesn't thrash her bells but she does love wearing them as hats :hehe:

Roma shakes his like a dog. Puts it in his mouth and just shakes his head furiously to get it to ring. If he is feeling lazy, he will grab it with a claw and shake it up and down.

Juni does! Every time I open his cage he runs to his bell and attacks it viciously before stepping up nicely on my finger :p and whenever he sees someone he doesn't like near his cage he goes crazy on his bell.

Frodo loves his bell toys. He has a great big bell toy with three little bells inside three big bells and he loves to wrestle with that, either from his perches or by climbing onto it and hanging upside down from the top one to play with the lower ones.

The bell at the end of his boing, he also loves to play with that. He also sings to his bells.

Rosie of the bell hat is just irresistibly adorable.

I have two macaws that bang bells, and you should hear the noise they make with a full set of ss measuring cups. DVR has changed my life, because I can actually rewind when I miss key pieces of dialog.

MC and his mayhem toy from avian stainless.

He has actually hung upside down from that toy on more than one occasion. It ranges from gentle tugs for bell ringing to all out war.

I thought it was just him......

Nerd loved his bells.we had a yellow one on the back side of a cage and he used to hang off the side and complain and beat the crap out it, then look all indignant and look to make sure we were watching.
Mom saw him doing it one day and said "He's playing" like birds would never do that.
Lurch likes to pull the same bell up, shake it then drop it. His favorite though is a rope ball thing he attacks viciuosly, especially when he's making a point about not wanting to do something.

I was actually going to post a similar question as last year I placed an order with
avian stainless and all the toys were ignored and I took them down.

Manu is cork and balsa bird, a quiet little chewer but last week I changed out the travel cage and play cart toys and tried the AVS toys again and he just went CRAZY :huh:.

He just seems transfixed at the noise the bells can make, he has been just bashing them non stop since last week . I was concerned at first as it seemed he was attacking them, I have never seen him so aggressive to a toy but after monitoring him he is just having a VERY LOUD fun time :hehe:.
