Rupert likes groovy blocks. They don't last super long (some last a couple of weeks and others he destroys much sooner). I stuff treats in the grooves and in the top and bottom. Lately I've been shoving a snappy wooden bead in the end and he likes destroying that as well.


I love these big blocks from CABirdNerds:
4" Notched Pine Block

They're similar to the groovy blocks, but Rupert can't pick these up and carry them. They take much longer to destroy. Fun to chew on.

I still have the pine stegosaurus from LilMonsters and that's a refillable forager.

@Farlie @DoubleTake I will say my GCC's LOVE that one. I have a little beaks, so I've put beads in it as well (the thought was to up the difficultly level a bit), but they enjoy emptying it just for the sake of emptying it as well. I love that it's served as a foraging toy as well as just plain entertainment for them.

I am not familiar with either toy. I'll google them.
Thanks, Shezbug

Does anybody use one of these? I really like the SS cage mount and tray underneath it.

Holy smokes! I just received this thing yesterday and it is huge. I didn't think it was that big and built like a Sherman tank. It's more for an African Gray and Amazon size birds.
We're still going to try it out tho.

:lol: They are large. My guys didn't like the little plate/mess catcher, so I put the ball up on a regular skewer and used it that way.

Well, Farlie doesn't really care for it. Too difficult to get to. I've put some of his favorite food in it but he can't seem to get at it. Possibly poorly designed IMHO.
