So we have had Bruno (Black capped Conure) 10 days. I know its still fairly early in transition but as of yet he does NOT play with ANY toys. We have a wide selection and variety, but he seems to have zero interest. We have millet in the forage toys and he's nibbled the exposed ends but otherwise has not engaged with the toy. Is there anything I should be doing to help him experience his toys?
He was relinquished to a vets office by an owner that no longer had time for him. Unknown care/interaction level. My friend was the vet tech there and brought him home. He wanted to find him placement as Bruno was not suited for integrating into the outdoor aviary (primarily large parrots) and craved one on one attention. So far Bruno is a fantastic snuggler, adores preening, is flighted and will seek you out in the house to be with you as much as he can. Just ignores all toys .
Not sure if it matters in aspect of toys byt cage wise he is in a smaller setup, "adequate" I guess you could say as far as "Conure" sized "parrot" type, tall, solid bars, activity center on top, swing out feed cups etc. Not the flimsy parrakeet style petstore type. We do plan to upgrade his cage in time, this is just what came with him when he was left at the vets office. When a human is home his cage is open.
Anyway, I just want to be sure Im doing what I can to provide happiness for him.
