Here are two foraging toys I bought for my birds today. I am excited because finding foraging toys for smaller parrots is not easy. I can't wait to see how they react when they see these toys tomorrow and if they can figure out how to open the lids. (Of course, I will help them :) so they don't get discouraged.

This one, I hope, will be good for my green-cheek conure (plastic cup with a plastic lid).



I am hoping these two below will be good for my budgies and lovebirds (plastic smiley mug with a leather lid, on a natural rope with beads)



This toy is a chew toy, but I also use it as a foraging station for my green-cheek. I stuff it with a few tiny pieces of dried fruit (blueberries, cranberries and papaya). Since they are sticky, they stay in-between the parts of this toy (mini playing cards with straw pieces).


I shared those pics because if some of you are crafty, you can most likely easily make similar toys.

Enjoy!

Wow! The first one looks literally exactly like one I bought for my budgie. Good for you for making it!! I would buy yours too!

It took my budgies a while, but they figured it out. Now it's way too easy for them and they flip the top and feast on millet!

Edit: sorry, don't know where I came up with the idea that you made them, I realize I'm wrong!

LOL, I was just about to let you know that I was not that talented :o:

I am glad to hear that your budgies figured that toy out.

BTW, nice to see you here :)

love those foraging toys. The smiling 'kool aid face' toys look like fun.
