measuring spoon toys

[Parakeet88]

I made all of my birds these simple foraging toys, so far captian is the only one I've caught using it but my other birds are small and it takes them a bit to warm up to new things. I'm sure they'll come to like it eventually. Going to try putting some almond butter on the spoons later today to see if that gets more attention (also thinking of sprinkling with millet to gain interest). Right now they have coconut oil on them and captian loves it! He's really the one I had in mind when making these, since he has fused feet he needs easier foraging options. If I can get Ben to use his I'll mix his dried greens in too since he's picky with his chop.

Great idea! TD has always played with some measuring spoons. They've hung in his cage as long as i can remember. I never thought of using them as a foraging opportunity!

I went ahead and put some coconut oil on TD's measuring spoons... guess who got covered in oil?!? I should have taken a picture!

ChuChu's favorite way to use these is to smash them as hard as she can into the cage bars! They make such a great noise, and the treats in them go flying!

I love how delicately your conure is tasting the coconut oil, *dab dab dab*.
