foraging idea

Hi! I wanted to share Perry’s work-from-home setup, where he clocks in every morning for destruction and snacks. This is a section cut from an $8 cardboard cat scratching panel (get the kind without any additives like catnip or grit of course) tied into a mini casserole dish with some grass...

I just figured out coconut huts are bad for your bird, so instead of throwing it away I turned it into a foraging toy.

So I made each of my birds a foraging tray, bigger one for Momo, Zazu got the medium one and Walad has the smallest tray. Question: how much seeds/treats/pellets/ should I put in there? :D I usually distribute a thin layer of seeds all over the tray, but now I’m thinking, is it too much? The...

I made a toy for my lovebirds and was pretty proud of how it turned out. :yes4: For some reason my balls turned out looking more like prisms :lol: Here is the tutorial for the braiding/folding To thread the balls onto a chain I used a bobby pin. They're seriously handy as bird-toy-needles.

During the summer, we grew some mini sunflowers (no bigger than 5 inch center). Would it be safe for me to hang a dried/drying sunflower head in my indian ringneck's cage for him to forage at the seeds? My only concern was the pollen, so I figured I'd ask the AA community:)

Hello, My name is Jacquie and I have two feathered friends-both rescues. Xavier is my Red Lored Amazon, who was sadly kept in a dark room and given outdoor black sunflower seeds for food. The owner adored her 2 new Cockatoos and Xaxier was lost in the midst. I contacted the woman who was selling...

So I did some research on how budgies like to forage, and apparently, they love to forage on the ground more than on trees and such. So I tested the waters by grabbing an empty container and filling it with pebbles, wood shavings, paper, and all the things that my little bird loves to chew up...

A couple weeks ago I bought a GCC. I'm constantly looking for new foraging ideas and trying to mix up the treats I put in them. I work night shift so I really stuff his cage full of snacks and foraging toys to help keep him busy/ quiet while I'm sleeping. So far it's working out well but I know...

I was thinking about this today. My bird seems to love chewing on rubber. I wondered if something really tough like a Kong chewy might work. What do you guys think? Has anybody on here tried it?

Hi there, years ago some people associated with Harrison's Bird Foods produced a great (in my opinion) DVD video called Captive Foraging. Captive Foraging is a powerful form of enrichment and now Harrison's has discontinued the DVD and made it available - for free - on YouTube. I am not...
