Not 100% homemade, but when you get a good sale, these can be really cheap! And you can find them in almost all bird stores!

Just press pumpkin seeds, beads, almonds, etc into the soft fleshy parts :)

I am hoping that someone actually plays with this now, as I've had it for about 2 years and its still almost new :rofl:



Edit: Jingo was tempted by Pumpkin Seeds :eek:

This is mine! This bunch was chewed back to nothing. Leaves and stems too.

These are all "stuffed" finger traps. Some with peanuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. They also have shredded paper, tissue paper and natural grasses as stuff material. The popcicle sticks were added to provide extra challenge.

They where demolished....

This is one of my "famous" Kabobs. Too Bad Ducky has yet to really dig into them. I am thinking Kabobs will be done later this week. I have not done Kabobs since getting Boris. I hope he likes them. :rolleyes:

If you look behind the Kabob you will see what I like to call an activity mat. Its a wicker paper plate holder with a wide selection of things put on it. Natural grass for preening, Spoons, plastic pacifiers, I have put strips of knotted leather, ect as well. The entire thing is a great destructive activity for the fids!

I feel so horribly un-creative!

The more destruction he can cause, the more he likes it. I like hollowing out these dice and wedging goodies inside. Also un-waxed tiny Dixie cups. Put treats inside, stack them, then crumble them.
