Something snuggly

I thought about adding something snuggly for Lada up on her favorite perch so she has something warm and comfortable to sleep with. I of course want to avoid all the discouraged items such as the tents, anything nest box like etc. I was thinking maybe some type of soft hanging toy. Can anyone make some suggestions? She may end up not using it as she is a pretty basic birdy, but I don't think she has ever been offered something like this, so who knows... maybe she will. After all, her parront said she doesn't care for toys and I have managed to get her playing with several different types slowly. I'm trying to give her some new items and new experiences. Thanks!

Mysafebirdstore.com usually has snuggly things on their site that aren't huts.

Looks perfect, thank you. Also need to get a heat panel too. That's been on my list for awhile.

I have that same heat panel. Its perfect for Dobey since he a my nakidy birdie. I have a tent made from fleece. Nelson came with a fuzzy type tent and I threw it away and got him a "less fuzzy" tent but when I took it out to clean I saw that he was still able to pull the fuzzy stuff. I know he misses the tent but I just didn't feel it was safe. He doesn't care much for his fleece tent but its all I could find that I felt ok about

Nelson (GCC) has this in his cage but started to actually eat the string so I had to cut them off. He still plays in the rings though

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I think I know what I am going to do now. I think I am going to opt for the custom route again and build a fleece toy myself so it fits perfectly in her cage where I have her perch already. I was going to use "Lada" colors for fun, but then I thought it might be fun to instead use male eckie colors, but then I thought about that again and maybe that's not a good idea haha. What do you all think?

I think it probably doesn't matter. :p it won't look like an ekkie from an UV light perspective regardless

That's a funny looking sphere ;)

Sorry, had to be the smart bum........

That is VERY cute! I had considered getting one of those, but Lada is pretty picky and stubborn. Once she picks her "spot" it seems hard to change that. So instead I opted to just improve upon her current choice.

If you go shopping for fleece make sure you get non-pilling fleece.
