Right now Mali nips/nibbles at everything but his favorite seems to be human fingers and newspapers. I just want to get more toys to divert him from my finger because, behavioral problems aside, I sew and practice flute too, and I can’t guarantee that whatever that is on the fabric or the flute will go away even after I wash my hands or not.
Here’s what Mali is like:
1. He loves to nip. Sometimes he’ll use his tongue too, I don’t know if he’s tasting stuff or not, but it’s ticklish.
2. He also loves preening everyone’s hair whenever he is on the person’s head. Especially people with long hair like my grandma.
3. He’ll stay still when he’s on someone’s head. It’s like hair=nest? Does this mean that he wants something to snuggle?

Thanks in advance!

He might like the finger traps stuffed with crinkle paper. My tiel liked to play with those.
