Eating speghetti out of my hand, I was terrified. He gobbled it up. No meat, just sauce and pasta!

Well now he has gotten over his fear of the newspaper and his happily shredded the paper at the bottom of his cage, next step a paper towel roll. Do I need to check for glue?

Secret loves a corrugated cardboard roll toy. I take one section at a time and put it on a skewer.

Not sure about skewers, he growls and ruffles at a spray of millet, LOL Where did you find a corrugated cardboard roll toy at?

You know what else is fun?! Those card board egg cartons ( not the Styrofoam ones) you get eggs in from store. I cut them in half then put treats in each little hole. Then place on bottom of cage, they forage then chew up carton. A fun time for them.

I'll have to look at it later. I think it may have been like a zoo max toy. Not sure. I bought it from some place that a member posted about on the forums. A big chain store that was getting rid of their bird stuff. Got it cheap but didn't like the yarn it was put together with so I pull a cardboard section off periodically and put it in a skewer.

Thanks, that sounds like a great idea! Just not sure how he will react but will sure give it a shot!

Place on bottom of cage with a little type of snack on each hole in egg carton, then mix it up with a variety of treats. He'll eventually come down to bottom of cage and look.

Thanks for the tip. I think he is getting over his fear of the newspaper, I have heard him twice on the bottom chewing it up. I don't have a grate over it, but I do keep the cage very clean, it's easy since he poos and sits in only two places, well, three the one outside of his cage.
